You'll also notice that you can specify two port numbers for SMTP: one +for MTA (Mail Transport Agent) and one for MSA (Mail Submission Agent). The +traditional ports to use for these purposes are 25 and 587. If you are +running an external MTA, such as Postfix (which submits mail to Citadel using +LMTP) or Sendmail (which submits mail to Citadel using the 'citmail' +delivery agent), that external MTA will be running on port 25, and you should +specify "-1" for the Citadel MTA port to disable it. The MSA port (again, +usually 587) would be the port used by end-user mail client programs such as +Aethera, Thunderbird, Eudora, or Outlook, to submit mail into the system. +All connections to the MSA port must use Authenticated SMTP.
