Hi group,

Is it possible to use TLS/SSL POP3 when the mail is being proxied via SpamBayes?

I'm using the 1.1b2 version of sb_server on Windows 10 with Thunderbird as the mail client.  I've configured SpamBayes to listen on port 53100, proxying to my mail provider.

When pointing Thunderbird to localhost:53100 without any security set, in combination with SpamBayes proxying to port 110 at my mail provider, everything works OK.

When pointing Thunderbird directly to my mail provider on port 995 with TLS/SSL checked, it can connect fine.

When in turn pointing Thunderbird to localhost:53100 with TLS/SSL checked, in combination with SpamBayes proxying to the same mail provider settings used above, fetching mails results in a time out after 30 seconds in Thunderbird.

Updating the SpamBayes advanced setting "Retrieval timeout" from it's default of 30 seconds to 15 seconds didn't make a difference (Thunderbird still times out after 30 seconds), so it's not directly related to that I assume.

Looking if Thunderbird attaches anything significant to the port used (here 53100), I configured SpamBayes and Thunderbird to use the default port 995, but that made no difference either.

I've shut down both the SpamBayes server and Thunderbird between applying changes as well, but that didn't magically solve anything.

Is TLS/SSL supported by the SpamBayes proxy?

Thanks in advance!
