Chris is correct. Eudora defaults to using finger for directory services, although it can also use LDAP. Finger is port 79, and 465 is for SSL encrypted SMTP. I don't know of any finger or LDAP services available for the new mail system.. -Russell Chris Wolf wrote: > You didn't say what protocol you were using for this in the past. We used the Finger protocol directed to pilot.msu.edu. In April of 2003, I found that this no longer worked with mail.msu.edu, and I had the exchange below with ACNS. They never answered my second query about it. My guess is that it's gone. (You mention port 465, which doesn't sound right at all. Finger uses port 79. Port 465 is for SMTP, I believe.) > > >>Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 17:07:19 -0400 >>To: MSUConsultingServices <[log in to unmask]> >>From: Chris Wolf <[log in to unmask]> >>Subject: RE:mail.msu.edu: New Finger Server? >>Bcc: [log in to unmask] (Brian Hoort), [log in to unmask] >> >>Thanks for the reply. We have several users who love the fact that Eudora can look up addresses on pilot.msu.edu (as a finger server) and cso.msu.edu (as a phone directory). We've tried to convince them to use the web, but they say it's too much of a hassle to switch to their browser to go to a web-based search page when a lookup is available right in their mail program. Are you saying they simply won't have that option any more after Pilot goes away? >>
