I've been trying to solve this for about three years now. Every few months, when I have a moment, I try again. It is not a specifically debian issue, but someone here must have a similar setup.
I have an IMAP server on a remote vm. I access it with mutt because it sucks least. But when I want to send mail, I have to open a webmail interface (squirrel as it happens) because that way I am logged on to the server, and not blocked from sending. I send from the server via the supplier's smarthost, which obviously will not relay for me from any other IP. Similarly my vm will not relay from wherever I happen to be so I cannot use mutt on my local machine to send. I have tried repeatedly to set up some sort of secure logon for the mutt connection to courier IMAP, but I do not understand the technology, and following various step-b-step guides has always failed with an error not predicted in the guide. I gather something called TLS is needed. Perhaps there are other ways. Perhaps I should try a different combination on the server than the default exim4 + courier IMAP. Can anybody advise me how to proceed? TIA -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
