Hiya Jesse. Well, I -could- do that.. except for a small problem. the mail clients I need to support prevent me from doing this:
MS Outloook doesnt support CRAM-MD5, only plaintext or nasty MS business. Mac OS X mail cannot do SMTP over SSL... so only way to do securley authenticate people was: 1) IMAP over SSL, using plaintext login, and then 2) SMTP-after-IMAP (with or without SSL depending on your client) My hand is kind of forced. I will use 'smtp-poplock' for the job probably, but just wondered if there were any other solutions that would suit courier even better? Cheers all. b.t.w. Jesse, ESMTP is fairly easy to switch on in Courier. Just add your authmodule to the list in the etc/esmptd file, and put REQUIRE_AUTH to 1.. presto. (mileage does vary depending on which type of authentication you use.. you can't use CRAM-MD5 with unix passwords for instance, as CRAM needs an unencrypted version of the passwd to work with) On Tuesday, June 18, 2002, at 07:36 , Jesse Keating wrote: > On Tue, 18 Jun 2002 19:26:59 +0100 > "Daniel Bambach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> issued forth: > > # I know not alot of people actually -like- this method of closing down > an > # open-smtp relay, but I actually find it to be reliable and fairly > # elegant. > # > # So, question Sam: what's the best way of implementing this in Courier? > # I would have thought, that for Courier, (it being such a modular mail > # solution) that it would be a shoo-in and in fact an optional part of > the > # dist. > # > # Anyone implementing this at the moment? care to make my life easy as I > # am about to do it? > > Courier features Esmtp, which allows users to login over the SMTP > protocol to > gain access to relay from dynamic hosts.
