Bug 74108 – sendmail 8.12.11 will not use SSL on port 465

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Victor Mendoza 2004-12-11 09:00:05 UTC]

Hi!

Please find attached sendmail-8.12.11-r3-r4.patch which modifies one line of the mail-mta/sendmail-8.12.11-r3.ebuild so that it will properly work with SSL.

Whithout this option sendmail-8.12.11 will not open an ssl connection on port 465, just a plain unencrypted one.

Thanks!

Victor

Created attachment 45742 [details, diff]
Adds "-D_FFR_SMTP_SSL" to the sendmail-8.12.11-r3.ebuild

Without this option sendmail-8.12.11 will not properly listen to SSL
connections on port 465.

That option is no longer available in latest sendmail, just try using something
like the following declaration in your conf.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=465, Name=SSLMTA, M=s')dnl

It should work just fine.

Correct, but I don't think waiting until the problem was no longer relevant was
the best solution. Thanks anyway.

We haven't "waited" on purpose, simply this bug was left behind and now
that we had the chance to review it the issue was invalid.

Sorry, didn't mean to lash out.
I really do appretiate your effort.
Thanks!
