• Mystic SMTP / STARTLS

    From Ganiman@21:3/174 to All on Tuesday, November 22, 2022 19:02:31
    Hey now,

    I think one of the last things I've yet to sort out with using Mystic is having Mystic send mail through SMTP.

    Under Servers > General Options, I have my SMTP host and port set correctly. The login and password have been tested with another client and are correct. SMTP Use SSL/TLS is set to Yes. I have tried all of the SMTP Auth Types and none of them seem to work.

    I can see in my Postfix logs: lost connection after STARTTLS

    When I try to watch the client connect, I can see Postfix offer STARTTLS as a command and I can see Mystic issue the command, and then it drops. I am assuming Mystic is trying to use weak ciphers or something that I do not allow with Postfix.

    Does anyone have any details on this or can offer some advice? Thanks,

    Do you have cryptlib compiled/installed and working correctly with Mystic?

    Mystic?

    Yes, that is working, but also only supports weak SSH ciphers. Maybe I have an old cryptlib?

    Yes, I use SSH when I connect to my board. As mentioned, it only supports older/weaker ciphers.. so maybe it's an old cryptlib? Or maybe thats just how it is?
