That's almost worth a smile.
Several people have offered help, including the suggestion to use stunnel.
I found that stunnel allows for pop, but the smtp problem is tougher. It
seems it has something to do with the fact that the isp uses tls, and it
looks like stunnel doesn't work with that.
One interesting suggestion was to use port 25 in stunnel instead of 465.
In other words, not to do any port conversion. There was some highly
technical reason for doing that; in any case, it didn't work either, and,
from reading the discussion that looking up the error message led to, it
seems that stunnel won't work with tls.
As an additional kludge, I'm wondering if something like Pegaus mail, the
complementary mail client to the mercury mail server, can do the job of
using tls. I'm wondering about that, because Pegaus allows for the same
type of 'folder' - can't think of the correct term, that mercury uses. So
that if pegasus can be used for the smtp, then mercury can do the
filtering and redirecting of messages, passing the output to Pegasus for
writing out.
If this 'tls' thing is really the latest wrinkle in the ssl family, then
stunnel, and other port conversion utilities, will undoubtedly incorporate
it, probably sooner than later.
I'll be back.
