Well, I'm using it with T-bird and it works just fine.

I'm using the:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl


on the server.

What I haven't figured out is how to configure all of the
workstations at the company to use 587 for submission to the
mailhost, with certificates for authentication... but
without running a listener (i.e. each of the workstations
or servers runs logwatch nightly and submits daily reports,
but doesn't ever accept incoming SMTP connections).

Not positive that a queue runner is strictly necessary either,
except in the case where mailhost is down for PM at the
time that the reports are generated (otherwise, they'll
simply be dropped).

Tried running the internal workstations with submitting on
port 25 to the mailhost instead, but it was running MdF on
the logwatch reports... and they were being flagged as Spam.

Sigh.
