hiyou are right the missing ssl/tls is usually a no go now a days, an other way is to use 'stunnel' for the comunication between your server and your service provider.

Hello Christian, Thank you for your reply.Well I did try that, but for some reason my service providers smtp server did not allow the connection. Will try again for test reasons.But the bigger concern is security. Ssl doesn't seem to be supported, and communicating email and password in plain seems dangerous.Unless I am missing something. I did not specify, the service provider's smtp server is a remote server. Am I founded in my concerns ? Kind regards, Advanced Functional Technology *From: *Christian M.

I opted to use our website host's imap and smtp server with Sogo. I am able to receive emails however when I follow tutorials to setup sendmail with and external smtp server, I find that once the email is sent, the information used to identify sogo for the smtp server is used as the sender for the email. It makes sense. My question is how to I configure sendmail to send using the id of the actual person writing the email? Or is there a setting within the sogo configuration files that sets the sender id to the user writing the email rather that the smtp user name? Ps: our service providers smtp login information is an email. Thank you for any assistance you may provide. Alexander
