Topic: provider demands outgoing smtp via ssl. Can we do that?

[hanscees]

Hi,

my provider does not accept mail on port 25 anymore.
I can deliver only smtp on port 587 with tls.

I am using sme 751.

Am I correct that the qmail server under the hood cannot do this?
Can I use stunnel or is there another solution?


At this time I am simply not relaying all the outgoing email via the smtp server of my provider, but sooner or later this gives trouble via rbl listst.
That can be a paine in the ****

thanks
Hans-Cees

Tried that. But changing a port does not mean it will do tls I am afraid.
So that did not work.

I'm fairly certain there is not a db command you can do to make that work.  Some hints maybe on this bug report - http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6538 (comment 4, comment 6, comment 17).

You will need to change the code in the smtp-auth-proxy script. Changing port and forcing TLS should not be difficult.

I suggest you create a New Feature Request in the bug tracker to make it DB configurable.
