[Lilux-info] P&T Blocking outgoing SMTP/SSL Port 465

[Michel Kohl]

Hello Pitt,

I already have an external IPv4 address without NAT.
I needed this to enable incoming VPN connection to my home network 
(because I did not find any dynamic DNS provider which supports IPv6).

So, I guess, that this may not be the problem.

BR,
Michel
