What are the odds of traffic between the BIS servers and the mail provider being intercepted? |
Yahoo is 993 SSL incomig and 465 SSL outgoing for smartphones. There are other ports that work as well for Yahoo. You wouldn't want to use port 110 or 143 - nothing like that.
This is common place practice for smartphones - to SSL enable incoming/outgoing. My Nokia rolled this through automatically.
