Re: [WebDNA] Emailer with TLS & Authentication

interpreted = N
texte = 2828 Hi Stuart, WebDNA has its own SMTP server: the built in mailer agent is a thread = inside of WebDNA, which executes the Sweeper function. It is all custom = for WebDNA, it is not based off of any external software like = sendmail/postfix. While WebDNA's TCPConnect context understands SSL and = links in openssl, the Email context does not. It just uses plain raw tcp = connections. So, in order to make WebDNA understands SSL, an alternative code path = had to be written to check for TLS support in the EHLO response, and if = it is present, then send a STARTTLS and do all of the fancy SSL stuff to = activate TLS on the connection. To use TLS, you need to edit WebDNA Prefs and add this line: MailSMTPTLS 1 Then restart WebCatalog. Otherwise TLS defaults to off. It will only do = it if the server supports it. No authentication of the certificates is = done, so self-signed certs will work. Otherwise, you could use localhost and getting the localhost to relay = via TLS kind regards, - chris > On Sep 22, 2020, at 09:02, talk@webdna.us wrote: >=20 > The email server is SendGrid so no issue there. >=20 > We can TELNET successfully but can not send using WebDNA. >=20 >=20 > Kind regards >=20 > Stuart Tremain > Pharoah Lane Software > AUSTRALIA > webdna@plsoftware.com.au --------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list talk@webdna.us To unsubscribe, E-mail to: talk-leave@webdna.us archives: http://www.webdna.us/page.dna?numero=3D55 Bug Reporting: support@webdna.us .
