While not an answer to your question, I simpy use putty and an SSH connection to port-tunnel STMP port 25 to my server, so it is encrypted... but of course, this requires an open ssh login to the server to work. I use OE express to do this, and just set the server to "localhost" and port to 2525, and then tunnel local port 2525 to myserver.com:25. Works very well. I do the same for POP access.
On a related note, does anyone know an easy way to export all my OE mail into qmail+IMAP, other than copy/paste - which I can only do one folder at a time? -Hank On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 02:53:12 +1030, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > David wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > > > I have not managed to get SMTP working over SSL with one of Bill's > toasters. > > > Is this feature supported ? > > > > > > I am using one of Bill's toasters installed on a RH9 box, everything > else > > > works fine.
