Unless you use g-mail or some other service that puts all their mail servers on non-standard ports. You'll have to look in their "help" sections to see, as I don't recall right off hand what even gmails settings are.<br>

Pop email is port 110/tcp. If you send, smtp is port 25/tcp<br>
<br>
I use an encrypted filesystem for most of my sensitive docs. For<br>
communication I only use ssl or encryption for ssh and secure http<br>
connections. I have a ipcop firewall set up, which is very similar to<br>
smoothwall and I also use iptables on linux and comodo firewall on<br>
windows.<br>
<br>
In addition to that I have a bandwidth monitor set up and I use snort<br>
for my intrusion detection.<br>
<br>
I'll be happy to go into detail about any of this with you. Just ask.<br>
