Topic: Remote users without SSL

[charlien]

I have searched and tried to find this answer but have not had any luck. I've also read some similar topics and tried a few things without success. I have a server that used to be running 6.x that had a contrib added that allowed a remote user to send and receive email without SSL. With 7.2 the best I can do is receive email without SSL but I can not send mail without SSL. I know that it is preferred to use SSL but there are a boatload of blackberrys set up on standard ports and they are all over the country. Is it possible to allow remote sending of mail without SSL? I've been asked to go back to 6.x but really don't want to take a step back. Your help is appreciated.

Take a look here http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Allow_external_pop3_access

There is all kinds of good information in the wiki

Crazybob, I tried this:

config setprop pop3 access public
signal-event email-update
svc -t /service/pop3s 

That allowed me to receive mail without SSL but I could not send mail.

A security warning first though. Usernames and passwords will be passed in plain text. If anyone is sniffing your connection they may well be able to get authenticated access to your mail server.

From console

Code:

# config setprop smtpd Authentication enabled

   signal-event email-update



You will now have under the Email settings - SMTP Authentication an option to select both SMTP and SSMTP.

Code:

# config setprop pop3 access public



You will now have under Email settings - POP3 Server Access an option to select both POP3 and POP3S.

The above will allow SMTP Auth on port 25 and POP3 access on port 110 from the external network.

On the internal network all users have access to POP3 on port 110 and access to SMTP port 25 without authentication by default.

try this from from jonb

Code:

# config setprop smtpd Authentication enabled

   signal-event email-update


# config setprop pop3 access public

I did the above. I can recieve mail without SSL and can send to any local user. I get the following error trying to send to anyone outside the network "The server response was: relaying denied". I'm getting closer.

EDIT: I have it working. I missed putting in my username and password. Thank you.
