I will need to allow connections from abroad, and I want to encrypt the sessions, authentication and mail. I've been testing, and while TLS will work for me if I set the client (seamonkey mail client on a remote server) to use it, xmail also seems to be cheerfully allowing me to connect without TLS. I've read through and tried so many tab-file settings, my eyes are falling out. I don't know what I'm missing. From the readme, I understood that the following entry, with empty string, would not allow connecting without some type of encryption. ??? > "SmtpNoTLSAuths" "" That's true for SMTP. Setting that string empty just means that no authentication to SMTP is allowed unencrypted. But as of now, there's no way to do similarly with POP3. If your SMTP server accepts mail for your domain, of course it cannot refuse unencrypted SMTP or insist on authentication, else you won't get very much mail. :-) A quick fix for now is to just disable POP3 service but leave on POP3S (using the command line -P-); then, make your client use port 993, and do SSL immediately on connect.
