Description Brian Moon 2006-03-16 07:36:29 UTC

We recently switched from our mail server from Redhat with our own qmail build to Gentoo.  Yay!  But, it seems that r16 of qmail requires TLS to support SMTP AUTH.  If I use Thunderbird with TLS, I can smtp auth.  However, if I turn off TLS, qmail says that the domain is not in rcpthosts.

Now, I would love to tell everyone to suck it up and get a real mail client.  But, I can't do that.  We have folks using MS Entourage on Macs.  Entourage does not support TLS.  So, when picking between having our sales people use some hotel ISP for smtp or us without TLS, I would rather have us without TLS.

Sorry, this was bogus.  There is a use flag -notlsbeforeauth
