Re: [courier-users] esmtp authentication

[Bill Taroli]

I do the same thing, but use TLS over esmtpd-msa (587). And I did this for exactly the same reason as the original poster... so that only authenicated (and secure) connections can relay. :-) Jay Lee wrote: chester c young said: has anyone gotten esmpt authentication to work with mozilla or thunderbird email? I have clients outside the firewall with varying ip's who need to send email, but do not want an open relay! Yes, it works perfectly. I configure tb to use port 465 (ESMTP SSL) so that passwords and email are not sent in clear text. It authenticates against the same LDAP backend that IMAP and POP3 do. Are you asking just to ask or are you having specific problems with ESMTP Auth. I do the same thing, but use TLS over esmtpd-msa (587).
