Getting back to this thread...
Nobody has really understood my question, I think. I do have a tls
on connect server on port 465. It works great, as long as the OE
Mac client is set to port 465. However, in the default setting, if
you simply choose "This server requires secure authentication" OE
Mac seems to do its normal routine of checking on 25 to see if
LOGIN authentication is offered, and then switches to 465 to do tls
on connect. If I don't have LOGIN offered on 25, OE Mac fails
outright. I don't want to offer LOGIN on 25 without encryption.
OE Mac doesn't support STARTTLS.
Do you see the problem? If I don't offer LOGIN on 25 without
encryption, OE Mac will not work, unless it is specifically set to
use 465. At this point, I think I'm stuck. I'd rather not offer
unencrypted authentication than pander to OE Mac clients, so I'm
just going to require OE Mac clients to specify 465.
That is, unless anyone has any way around this catch-22.
don't you have a solution in setting OE Mac to use port 465? So you
do not have a catch-22 here, that is, unless you are referring to
ssh, ha ha ha! sorry.
