I have an OpenBSD 6.1 box set up with OpenSMTPD and Dovecot on Vultr (a
VPS provider).
This machine is intended for use as my primary mail server. I have a Let’s
Encrypt certificate installed and declared in the smtpd.conf file like so:
I can send and receive mail ok using Apple Mail on my mac. Thunderbird is
another story… I am warned when I set up the account that SMTP is NOT
encrypted.
This has driven me batty all week. My Google-Foo fails me and reading through
my Dovecot book and smtpd man pages have not enlightened me as to why this is
not using TLS.
When I telnet to the machine on port 587 and issue the EHLO command, STARTTLS
does appear in the response. Also, OpenSMTPD shows when I type the help
command.
issuing a Mail command comes back with the response that STARTTLS must be done
first.
Can someone clue me in on what I might be missing?
in thunderbird set Connection security to STARTTLS
Thanks in advance for your help!
