I am having a problem setting up Security email to my icloud account. I have followed all the directions I can find but still get failure to send messages in the message log. Setting i have used are: smpt.mail.icloud.com; outgoing port 587; also tries ports 25 and 465. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks. Frank
