I just spent the better part of three f#@&ing hours fixing an esoteric server problem with the Verizon SMTP servers that read bedeviling my wife's email program (Eudora).
We are talking in the weeds bulsh#@ port numbers and authentication settings.
I knew that one would work, but the permutations are a mind f#@$.
My gears us that someone retaken the thing because of Heartbleed.
FWIW, it was an SMTP server of smtp.verizon.net, authentication on, SSL/TLS on, port 465.
Shoot me now.

Port 465 is not that unusual, though 587 is more common.
But, um, the real news is that someone still uses Eudora...
Well, I use Pine on my shell, which is very old school.
As to my wife using Eudora, I really do not want to teach her another package.
I still use mutt a lot (mailsync is a wonderful utility). Yet somehow, Eudora doesn't seem old-school in a good way :-)
