port question

[mickalo]

just noticed this the other day and was wondering why port 995 is used and what for?

cppop - accepting on port 110 and 995

never noticed this port being utilized before? does it need to be used and what for now?

TIA,
Mickalo

Port 995 is for Exchange Server supports POP3 over SSL, to be exact. Any server with CentOS, typically, has the following ports on localhost:

(The 1642 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT     STATE SERVICE
1/tcp    open  tcpmux
21/tcp   open  ftp
22/tcp   open  ssh
25/tcp   open  smtp
26/tcp   open  unknown
53/tcp   open  domain
80/tcp   open  http
110/tcp  open  pop3
111/tcp  open  rpcbind
143/tcp  open  imap
443/tcp  open  https
465/tcp  open  smtps
631/tcp  open  ipp
783/tcp  open  hp-alarm-mgr
953/tcp  open  rndc
993/tcp  open  imaps
995/tcp  open  pop3s
3306/tcp open  mysql

thx's. We are using Centos 3.8 currently.

is there a procedure to setup a SSL connections, on the server, for POP accounts so they can use the SSL 995 port if needed ? What sort of a certificate needs to be installed and where ?

thx's
