With your help I've gotten the outbound to work. I added N0SO-1 in the email filter.
?In the debug log. It was doing something but couldn't find the door to get out. I've forwarded?theses?emails off to a fellow ham as we were both having the same problem.

Excellent points, Ed.? Thanks for the reply.? In my case I know more about POP and SMTP than I know about amateur radio, so those were the first things I checked.? My packet captures between the D-RATS machine and the mail server proved that D-RATS never attempted to contact the mail server .? If it was an SSL, TLS, or port issue I would have at least seen a connection attempt and a failure.? I was seeing nothing at all.

But, the good news is it is working now.? I posted a follow up yesterday with the solution.? It was an Email Access rule problem in D-RATS.??? I added two rules:? 1) Call sign, both directions, and no email filter, and 2) Call sign, inbound, and the email address I'm using to receive mail in D-RATS.???? Seems to be working fine with that.

Still, thanks for the reply.?? Anyone else who tries this should first check what you mentioned if they have problems.
Hi Dan, On POP Mail check to see if your ISP requires security and that you have the correct port. Ports 25 and 110 do not require security. Port 995 requires SSL to be enabled. Also check to see which additional ports you can try for POP mail. it may turn out another Port might be better. It's easy to forget which need TLS or SSL. If your ISP requires a password for POP, you won't get it unless you get SMTP to send the PW first and then after SMTP, it can send POP Mail. These may be linked this way for your ISP. HTH, Ed
