David Leangen commented on JAMES-3215:
--------------------------------------
Regarding letsencrypt: the current issue that I would like to resolve is: "how
can SSL be provided more easily, with automated udpates"?
As stated in a separate issue, SSL is not working for me, and even if it were
working, it's a PITA to have to renew my certs every 6 weeks or so, since I
plan to use the freely available letsencrypt (I guess I'd have to get the certs
then install them manually, I don't yet know).
Perhaps by disabling STARTTLS and using the nginx proxy, I could get what I
want.
> Remove SSL support in James

> Key: JAMES-3215
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3215
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Leangen
> Assignee: Ioan Eugen Stan
> Priority: Major
>
> SSL support is not working [1], and it complicates the installation process.
> It causes the inclusion of various libraries, and Java suuuuuucks for SSL
> support.
> It would make James a lot simpler to remove SSL support and make SSL
> termination somebody else's problem. These days it should be easy to use a
> proxy (like nginx) or an ingress (for example in Kubernetes) to perform SSL
> termination.
> It would be one less thing to maintain in James, one less thing that can go
> wrong, one less step to take just to get a James server working, and a step
> closer to providing good user support.
> {quote}[1] I define "working" by meaning that as a user, I follow the
> instructions but it still does not work as intended.
