Using stunnel
I use Microplanet Gravity and it posts to groups fine. But emailing is a problem. Pouring over the docs it seems that I need to run stunnel or OpenSSL for it to connect through to the mail server. Can anyone guide me through this? -- Tekkie |

Sorry - can't help with your software - just wonder if you have compelling reason to stick with it ? I've used Forte Agent & Free Agent since forever and never had any problems. albeit for usenet only not for email. John T. |

It's just that I like it for news and if I read a post and want to email it's a pain to open another program. It used to work before Comcast screwed with it. Thanks anyway. Yup. I'm quite sure that Agent does email - but I can't verify how good it is. I'd be surprised if it was poor .. John T. |

wrote: Stunnel changes those ports to the ones in the connect lines, and the connect lines connect stunnel to the servers. You put the server name you had been using in Micro, followed by a colon, followed the port number that Micro wants now, That the server wants now. probably 995 for fetching, and either 587 (the submission port) or 465, (the usual port) If you're not sure, you can look in whatever you are using for other email. Thunderbird, for example, will look at the server names you provide and look in some charge In some list. some where and it comes back with 465 or 587. Use the same number. (I'm not saying the settings above will work for verizon. I simplified the numbers.) In a file like that, lines starting with semicolons are comments. You can edit the conf file directly, or since stunnel can run without being set up correctly, when it's running, you can right click on the stunnel icon in the systray, and choose edit configuration. After you make changes, for them to take effect, you have to right click again and choose Reload Configuration. You don't have to close the edit window when you do this. And you don't have to close stunnel or anything else if you use Reload. If this is not enough, post back. |

You CAN set Agent up for email too - I don't and haven't - but it is designed to handle both |

The one thing I don't like about it is the font size. I guess it's possible to change it but it takes a bunch of steps. The easiest trick is to pretend to follow up a post then discard it. No Microplanet Gravity... I don't use Tbird for news groups -- Tekkie |

Using stunnel
Well Micky here is my config file It sits there for a minute or so then
craps out. Man, I haven't thought so hard in a long time. I am giving up for today. I changed your original verizon one to comcast but it came back with an error that it was too open & available to hacks. Also how do I kill it other than task manager. I also don't know how to change the conf file it uses. [smtp] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = smtp.comcast.net:465 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = smtp.comcast.net OCSPaia = yes -- Tekkie |

lowbrowwoman, Birdbrain's eternal senile whore!
On Tue, 24 Nov 2020 18:43:01 -0700, lowbrowwoman, the endlessly driveling,
troll-feeding, senile idiot, blabbered again: elnet smtp.comcast.net 587 Trying 2001:558:fe16:1b::16... Connected to smtp.comcast.net. Escape character is '^]'. 220 resomta-po-04v.sys.comcast.net resomta-po-04v.sys.comcast.net ESMTP server ready ehlo 501 EHLO requires valid address I don't know if it helps but 587 is the common port for TLS SMTP servers. If I telnet to 465 I don't get a response. If I had a valid address EHLO would present the banner of capabilities including STARTTLS to negotiate an encrypted session. IOW, you don't use Stunnel, you don't know how it works, but you still keep smartassing, as usual, senile Trumptard! Yep, you ARE a bigmouth like your leader! LOL |
