I have a problem with relaying email through my ISP's server.
I have AT&T DSL, and not only do they block port 25, they also require SSL based connections to port 465.
From the AT&T email config site:
Code: Select all
Incoming mail server: POP.ATT.YAHOO.COM
Outgoing mail server: SMTP.ATT.YAHOO.COM
Outgoing mail server: Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication
Incoming mail port #: 995, secure connection (SSL) checked
Outgoing mail port #: 465, secure connection (SSL) checked
( I know SSL has been covered alot in the forums, and I found one that looks really close to helping...but it was written specifically for gmail and I'm having trouble translating it to my ISP...
http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewto ... hlight=ssl )
incoming mail is working perfectly, so I pretty much don't care about all the POP3 stuff right? (I'm not pulling email from the ISP, only trying to relay SMTP....)
I have installed STUNNEL and configured it with the example config file from the post above, with a couple of modifications...
Code: Select all
# Name this file client-stunnel.conf and place
# in your stunnel directory
#Some performance tunings
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
; Use it for client mode
client = yes
; Service-level configuration
service = Stunnel-Client
;# POP3 service, listens on localhost:11111
;[gmail-pop3s]
;accept = localhost:11111
;connect=pop.gmail.com:995
# SMTP service, listens on localhost:11026
[gmail-smtps]
protocol=smtp
accept = localhost:11026
connect=smtp.att.yahoo.com:465
(and get a warning saying not to do that...but I think it's correct)...
This is where I enter my username and password for my ISP's authentication as well...right? seems weird..not sure how that would get passed through stunnel and to the ISP...but that's the only place I can see an option for it. Should the username and password maybe go in the stunnel config file?

anyway..I try to send email, and get a response saying it tried like 10 times and couldn't send it.
I think my config is screwy in either the hmail relay settings or the config file, but either way...some help would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
