Hello, last November I asked a question with an almost identical subject (I include a copy at the end of this mail) an I received immediately a good answer but it seems I was only able to solve half of the problem wich is a secure connection for my emails. I thought I had solved it but it was probably only for receiving mails and not yet for sending them. There was a transition time when they accepted both secure and insecure connections but this ends this week; from 31 March on only secure connections will be accepted (as stated in the reminder which I now received from telekom; also copied at the end of this mail, but it is in german). It doesn't say if the insecure connection was for sending or receiving emails but I think that the receiving (with getmail) is ok, but that I made an error in configuring sendmail. (for my mails I use mutt and vi direct, getmail and sendmail in the background) I didn't get any direct help from telekom but on one of their internet pages one can find information for some mail programs (none of which I use, all some gui programs where you should change a configuration menu). On the part for thunderbird one finds that for receiving emails one should change the server name from popmail.t-online.de to securepop.t-online.de [this was the answer I got to my mail from Novemer; I had changed only the type from SimplePOP3Retriever to SimplePOP3SSLRetriever in getmailrc which wasn't enough]. For sending emails one should change from smtpmail.t-online.de to securesmtp.t-online.de (port 465). So I changed this in the mc-file in /etc/mail, make install in /etc/mail and restarted sendmail. I've got the warning Warning: Option: AuthMechanisms requires SASL support (-DSASL) So I deinstalled sendmail and installed it from /usr/ports/mail/sendmail-sasl/. Now it starts without warnings. I thought that now I would have a secure connection to t-online.de until the reminder mail came stating I'd still use an insecure connection. I looked at /var/log/maillog and for each outgoing mail I find Creating connection to host (smtpmail.t-online.de:25) Authentication succeded [johannes-maria] Recipient accepted ... Mail sent for johannes-maria@t-online.de. Closing connection So it's still smtpmail.t-online.de. But this name is not contained in any file in /etc/mail [or any file under /etc]. I tried it with securesmtp.t-online.de and securesmtp.t-online.de:465 in the configuration files (I don't know where else to put the port number 465) but in both cases I get the smtpmail.t-online.de in /var/log/maillog. Can you help? thanks in advance Johannes-Maria ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > From: Johannes-Maria Kaltenbach <johannes-maria@t-online.de> > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: problems with email/ssl and t-online.de/telekom.de > Message-ID: <20131120134653.GA4704@jmk.org> > > Hello, > > on 5 Nov I received an email from my provider telekom.de > informing me that I use an insecure connection for my emails > and that from start of 2014 on ssl is required. > For my emails I use sendmail and getmail (and mutt/vi) so > I think ssl should be supported. > > I changed the type from SimplePOP3Retriever to SimplePOP3SSLRetriever > in my $HOME/.getmail/getmailrc: > > | [retriever] > | type = SimplePOP3SSLRetriever > | server = popmail.t-online.de > | username = ... > | password = ... > > > but with this I get only > > | getmailrc: socket error ([Errno 61] Connection refused) > > I described this in a detailed email to telekom.de (twice) > but didn't get any answer. > > Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or explain > to me what I should do instead. > > > thanks in advance > Johannes-Maria ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > From: "Deutsche Telekom AG" <verschluesselung@t-online.de> > Subject: Erinnerung: Bitte stellen Sie jetzt Ihr E-Mail-Programm auf > Verschlüsselung um! > > Stellen Sie jetzt Ihr E-Mail-Programm auf Verschlüsselung um! > Ab 31.
