[LUG] SMTP authorisatio by certificates - Theo?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Okay, I want to do some funky things with email......

Been playing with SMTP over SSL (SSMTP).

So far discovered you need to patch Outlook 2002 :(
Although what they were doing with an unpatched copy of Outlook.

Mozilla only wants to talk TLS, not SSL :(

Kmail and OE play along nicely. Anyone else know any others?


Whilst we'll probably go SMTP Auth in the longer term, I'm fairy sure
Theo mentioned authorising people by Certificates for sending SMTP. This
would be handy for some transitional stuff we are doing.

However I couldn't see a way to specify which certificate the client
shoud present with SSL (if you ignore using stunnel to effect a VPN), so
is this with TLS? Did I miss something?
