Is there any difference in using smtps instead of smtp?


Or is it transparent for the application layer ?

I ask this because I'm trying to connect to a smtps and no success (smtp is working fine)


Solution

  • According to wikipedia it's transparent to the application layer, since its no protocoll and no smtp-extension. It does it job perfectly transparent on the transport layer.
