SSL or TLS ?

SSL or TLS ?

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

Just a quick and dumb question:

is Gnus able to deal with TLS ?

I want my Gnus to connect on my IMAP server using TLS exclusively
and so I could get rid of SSL on it.

Same for my SMTP.

Ideas ?

It will work for both.  you need to set nnimap-stream to ssl for IMAP
and for SMTP you need to install gnutls and set your
smtpmail-starttls-credentials.  SMTP is actually done by a separate
(not-gnus) lisp package, smtpmail (see here:
http://josefsson.org/smtpmail.html)

Is there actually a smtpmail that supports authentication on Emacs 21.3.1?

Greetings,

I do not know, sorry.  I am running out of CVS:

nibbler; emacs --version

GNU Emacs comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

I can tell you this, at least:
nibbler; CVS status lisp/mail/smtpmail.el
===================================================================

And that Simon Josefsson made the mods to support AUTH and TLS:
Modified by Simon Josefsson <jas@pdc.kth.se>, 22/2/99, to support SMTP
Authentication by the AUTH mechanism.  See

Modified by Simon Josefsson <simon@josefsson.org>, 2000-10-07, to
support STARTTLS.  Requires external program

Hope this helps.

Simon Josefsson's `smtpmail.el' is supposed to work with Emacs 21, see
<URL:http://josefsson.org/emacs-rfc2554.html>.

Bye, Reiner.
