Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] SMTP Filter

If you're filtering out everything except connections to the SMTP port but no one's connecting to an SMTP port in the meantime, then might it not be correct that nothing's showing up?  If you want to see if it's working while the packet capture is going on, why not try to send a couple of emails to yourself (which would definitely show up in the packet capture).

Comes up. Can someone please give me information on what I may be doing wrong?
