[Spambayes] SSL and SpamBayes?

[Kyle Banas]

Hello,

This is my first time writing to this list, so please forgive me if this is
an inappropriate query.  I am attempting to configure the SpamBayes POP3
Proxy to work with Outlook Express.

This seems like a relatively trivial process - however, I'm running into a
problem.  Our incoming POP3 mail server only allows SSL connections.  So, I
configured it to use the remote server "smtp.myserver.com:995" and
configured the listen port to be 110 (and I configured OE accordingly -
localhost, port 110, etc..).  However, when I attempt to check my mail with
OE, it hangs at "Connecting.."

I did some research and found that in order to get SSL to work, I had to add
the line "use_ssl: automatic" to the bayescustomize.ini file.  I've done
that, so my .ini file looks like this:

[pop3proxy]
use_ssl:automatic
listen_ports:110
remote_servers:ragtime.eecs.umich.edu:995

But still, I'm having no success.  I'm fairly certain this is a problem
related to SSL, as if I try it without SSL it connects immediately and
bounces back with an "SSL is required" error message.

I've checked the FAQ and Googled my little heart out.  Thanks for any help
or suggestions you might have.

Best,
