The Yast Mail Transfer Agent in 11.0 does not have any outgoing mail
port setting.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong - but I'm pretty sure that yast
just provides an interface to configuring the MTA which is really
Postfix.  You should be able to edit your master.cf file in /etc/postfix
to change port settings by adding a line like this:

587      inet  n     -     n     -     -     smtpd

You can also configure SSL or TLS authentication.  Doing this is well
documented on the web and should be fairly easy.

Hope that helps.

By the way: BOOOOO COMCAST

I think you are always supposed to edit /etc/sysconfig/postfix,
otherwise SuSEconfig will wipe out the info. I did not see any
comments in that file for ssl. But I was able to change
smtp.comcast.net to smtp.comcast.net:587
After running SuSEconfig, this worked.

But rerunning Yast2 mail agent to put in the required user
authentication for this port balked at the :587, which I had to remove
and then redo the above manual edit. So I think this is a severe lack
in the Yast module. But I could not figure out how to do SSL or TLS
in /etc/sysconfig/postfix.
