mean? Why does Squirrelmail do that, when Postfix (and all other

Because once you've opened a socket in PHP, you can't redefine the socket
to support TLS. Thus, we can't use the STARTTLS command.

PHP4 is renowned (as far as I'm concerned) for its workarounds.

the documentation, you'd have found that SSL/TLS support in SquirrelMail
requires a dedicated TLS port (SMTPS, IMAPS) which does not use the
STARTTLS command.  It also requires PHP 4.3.x, with the OpenSSL extension.

O.k. But then the wording advertising STARTTLS for IMAP when doing 'perl ./conf.pl' should be reworded. Like "it works, but it isn't STARTTLS".


Don't get me wrong. I'm full of admiration for what works, cf Imp.

For more information, see doc/authentication.txt in your SquirrelMail tree.

I read it. Now I have one more person to thank, you for making it all possible :) The word "elegance" sprang to mind, comparing the whole SquirrelMail thing to Horde's Imp. Look at the code base for each, for example.

Do not CC me or your mail will probably be rejected.
I don't like this, either. Blame it on Swen and a slow
Internet connection.
