Secure POP3?

2003-08-01 Thread Domagoj Klepac
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Does anyone use TB! for retrieving messages from server with POP3 and
secure connection (STARTLS)?

Both secure to regular and dedicated port end up with this:

===8===[ Begin paste ]=
 31/07/2003, 13:44:18: FETCH - receiving mail messages
!31/07/2003, 13:44:19: FETCH - Server reports error. The response
is: -ERR authorization first
===8[ End paste ]==

On the same server, with same settings, secure connection works for
IMAP. I've tried messing with authorization options, but it didn't
help. Why is that log so brief, it doesn't even report connecting to
server or anything (with IMAP it's full of information)?

Perhaps TheBat tries to verify that your server understands STARTSSL?
As it negates the CAPAbility command, one cannot tell for sure.

On a side note, your ISPs server is listed in our/the lists MTA
configuration:

  hosts_avoid_tls = ouroboros.hr : epost.de

We had real problems when using STARTTLS, which is advertised by the
mx.ouroboros.hr but which in 75% of cases led to an error... Perhaps
the same happens with pop?

Somewhere in the future. Sorry, the only thing known about the release

 Hopefully soon? I keep hearing of people reporting problems and
 shortcomings with this version and that version that are supposedly
 fixed in version 2, but I don't believe I've heard any official
 word from RITLabs about what new features / bug fixes are in version
 2 and when they believe they'll have either the beta or final
 product ready.

There once was an interview Marck conducted. Most of what was promised
then has now been become part of 1.6x.

BTW, there are not many bugs left in TB, and the shortcomings have
more to do with certain aspects users want.

[problems (IMAP, secure pop3, certificates, etc.)/help needed]

2002-12-26 Thread Aldo P. Solari [APS]
Dear all, we are attempting to use TheBat (v 1.62) to a secure
IMAP server at the university campus.

I dont know how many hours I have lost in this matter. There is
no way I can connect. I have tested all of the alternatives but
it wont go.

Netscape Mail and Outlook Express are really lousy programs but
they do this automatically (exchange certificates and connect to
the IMAP secure server *flawlessly*).

I have exported the certificates (both mine and the one from the
university server) from IExplorer, imported them to TheBat and
put them into the Trusted address book. I attempted to connect 
either through IMAP on port 995 or POP3 on port 993 and have used 
all of the alternativa/combinations given by TheBat. Nogo. Nogo.

Could you advice, please, on what I should do ?

To me, it is amazing how this can be done automatically on lousy
email programs and it is -- so  -- difficult to do with TheBat.

The mailserver is aguayro.ulpgc.es or aguayro.gestion.ulpgc.es

Please, don tell me ask your sysop because they just deny the 
possibility to use other email programs then the ones they chose.

Any help will be *mostly* appreciated. Thank you.

Merry xmas to all.

Cheers,

	APS

It's not just IMAP problem. The same happens with POP3 using TLS protocol.

I had to get and installa manually the certificate of my ISP in order to
establish a secure communication.

Is this a missing feature, or is a deliberate behaviour?

I'd say it's a problem with secure connections. You see, to establish
one, you need a server supporting it and the correct implementation
incl. certificates.

A feature of TB is to use the best secure method even if the server
doesn't use it. But in one of the last versions that was changed to
revert to the next possible authentication, AFAIK. When TB connects to
one of my mail servers (don't know if it is POP or SMTP) the log
always shows unknown authentication method but TB nonetheless
connects.

Sorry to be that vague, but this is more a question for some of our
more tech savvy members, who seem to be vacationing.

Hello Dierk,

DH Version 2 is said to have complete IMAP support.

I too fell victim to spending hours trying to figure out why my newly
installed stunnnel and openssl programs and libraries were not working
with TheBat. They don't work with Eudora either. But, they work just
fine with Outlook. I scanned the TB mailing list and found someone
else mentioning that openssl changed the protocol negotiation slightly
and broke how TB works for pop3s. I'm now trying to apply a
work-around.

Does version 2 have any anticipated release date? Hopefully soon? I
keep hearing of people reporting problems and shortcomings with this

I don't believe I've heard any official word from RITLabs about what

Does anyone have a list of features/bugs and a preliminary (subject to

Might it be possible to incorporate this behavior into TB, so that when it discovers a 
secure server; it gets the certificate, displays it and prompts me if I want to save 
the certificate?

While the above works, it does seem like a lot to ask an end-user to do, especially 
when other [inferior] email clients do it as I suggested.

Secure POP3 FAQ needed

2002-03-27 Thread Kai Göing

Hi:

I would like to connect to my university's secure POP3 server via SSL
but have no clue how to create my own certificate, how to import the
server's certificate and what the deal with the Intermediate Root CA
and Trusted Root CA directories is. I am aware that it is possible
to purchase a private certificate from companies like VeriSign, but
have also heard that one can create his own certificate using OpenSSL.
Maybe somebody like Mr. Palmreuther or Mr. Pearlstone who seem to be
very knowledgable about stuff like that could answer these, I suppose,
basic questions and provide some specific instructions. Maybe they
could even post an FAQ sheet?

Thanks,

Kai

This, BTW, is a very interesting example for the different histories
of language - especially ones connected as closely as German and
English.

Due to the different vowel shifts in Germany and England the Latin
cat from authenticat- the resulting words had to be changed to
pronounceable. In English it essentially stayed Latin, in German cat
became (t)zi, which needed a buffer.

Caveat: This is only the abridged version; a comparative linguist with
German as his main subject may have to say some more about it.

 I you always ask for forgiveness, did it ever come to mind that there

 Is SECURE POP3 possible with TB -- or will it SOON be possible? My mail server has 
been
 switched to ATTBI and it requires Secure POP3.

 It was hinted that SSL is planned.

 How is it that Outlook and many other mail clients have this and we don't . . .

 Because this isn't Outlook? How is it that TB! is safe from malware
 attacks and others aren't?

AJ Here is a reply from Stefan:

 We are working on it right now. Before we get it implemented,
 you can use the program STunnel (www.STunnel.org) together with The
 Bat!..

OK, so you are looking for SSL authentication. This has been on the
wishlist, and as Stefan confirmed to you, is being worked on. IIRC
correctly, this is one of the features that should be ready by the end
of this year, but don't quote me on this.

when do Latin words have th? Wouldn't this be a Greek word?).

Hello TBUDL!

  I just want to know if I'm to stupid to find it: Is there an option
  to make your POP3 connection a secure SSL one? My mail provider
  will support this in a few days and I'd like to use it, so if it is
  not an option with TB!, please could we make it?

I like the idea and would like to know more about this feature. To date,
I've only ever heard the two terms... POP3 and SSL... used in conjunction
with one another, was on Linux discussions... which I immediately turned
away from, because I feel that using Linux is like taking a few giant
steps backwards. That is not to be confused however, with my wish for a
better alternative to MS Windows... it's just that Linux isn't it. :o)

Anyway, getting back to your subject... all I can find relating to secure
connections, is at Account/Properties/Transport... where there is the
following checkbox:

[] Encrypted logon (APOP/MD5)

It's probably not the same thing, is it.

Re: Secure POP3

2000-06-04 Thread Johannes M. Posel

Servus Jast,

Am 04.06.2000 so gegen 20:39 meintest Du:

  Nope. With APOP your password is encrypted when you log on. SSL encrypts
  the actual data during transfer. Bat doesn't support this.

Now sure, GMX cannot provide a shell for every of it's customers, but
if you need encrypted transmission of your eMails from your POP3 box
to your client, you'd also consider a SSH tunnel. You've got the
choice between both, and personally I prefer SSH with port forwarding
because the program doesnt need to support it... Just my 0,02c

I suggested such a feature just a week or so ago to "The Bat! -
Suggestions". The reply I got from
Stefan Tanurkov [EMAIL PROTECTED]  (RIT Research Labs),
was:

MH The feature is miss most, since replacing Outlook Express with The
MH Bat, is the capability to use the POP-Protokol over SSL, since the
MH German mail service provider WEB.DE uses this feature.

We are going to implement it soon. Please stay tuned.

Re: Secure POP3

JMP Now sure, GMX cannot provide a shell for every of it's customers, but
JMP if you need encrypted transmission of your eMails from your POP3 box
JMP to your client, you'd also consider a SSH tunnel. You've got the
JMP choice between both, and personally I prefer SSH with port forwarding
JMP because the program doesnt need to support it... Just my 0,02c

Speaking of which, does anyone know of any (Windows or Linux) proxies
for SSL and have any easy configuration steps?  I want this for work
mostly so I can get news from a secure news server (and only Netscape
and Outlook implement the snews protocol it seems, so it leads me to
believe that it's SSL), but it might be handy in a general sense
also...

If such a thing exists, wouldn't SSL with port forwarding do the same
thing as SSH?

thx-

DESCRIPTION
The stunnel program is designed to work as SSL encryption wrapper between remote client
and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. The concept is that having non-SSL aware
daemons running on your system you can easily setup them to communicate with clients 
over
secure SSL channel. 
stunnel can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP-2,
POP-3 and IMAP servers as well as to standalone daemons like NNTP, SMTP and HTTP 
without
changes to the source code. 
This product includes cryptographic software written by Eric Young ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 

Anyway, the package also has the required dll's you need to be able to
run anything like this. Note that they are or seem to be restricted to
USA use only...

How to implement it on the client, no idea.

Best regards,
 
tracer
