Topic: Sending email to Postini (Secure Mail relay) over SMTP/SSL 465 ONLY

[alahser]

Hi,

I used SMEserver many years ago for a non-profit that I did some work for. I'm starting a new business, and it seems like the best option. Thanks to everyone that keeps such a great project going for such a long time.

I need to send/receive email securely (ONLY by SSL, never cleartext). Basically, I need to make sure that the mail server only uses SSL on port 465 for outbound mail. More detail follows:

I have successfully limited my inbound email to SSL using Google's Postini service. I'm having trouble sending email from SMEserver to the Postini mail relay (which makes sure that the recipient's email server supports SSL/TLS before sending the email to the ultimate recipient).

I have seen this bug: Bug 897.  And I think I have set up what is needed, that is, I did this:

> config setprop smtp-auth-proxy PeerPort 25|465|587
> sv t /service/smtp-auth-proxy

Its worth mentioning that the Postini mail relay validates me using my IP address (and does not require a user/password for auth). This is not enough to get the email to pass through SSL. Is there any way to disable transmittal of insecure email to ensure only SSL SMTP?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Andrew
