What does your email client use? Hmmm .... two systems. Both use claws-mail. I used mailx as a simple (I thought) way of describing the problem. So let's scratch my "simplification" and restate the problem. I have two systems, both with up-to-date Fedora 32, both running claws-mail. Both access the smtp server on hughes.net using port 465. The 'working' systems logs in and transmits the emailwithout any problem. The non-working system hangs on the connection until it times out. Update: Turns out that the SSL certificate was missing. Why, I have no idea. My guess it that hughes (email provider) started requiring it without telling anybody. Sigh! _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
