Hello everyone. Perhaps I'm a little new with Stunnel but, I've successfully used it to get an old EarthLink MailStation compatible with GMail SMTP and POP mail. Kind of neat.
That said, I wish to use Outlook, but going through the SMTP process manually via Telnet, I've found that the SMTP requires you issue "AUTH LOGIN" command, and give the username and password in Base64. If I do this manually, I can send SMTP mail all day. However, this unit is old enough that I don't think it knows how to do anything with SMTP auth. It also looks like Outlook doesn't turn SMTP auth off for Outlook.com personal accounts.
Is there any way that I've missed to have Stunnel handle the AUTH LOGIN part of the SMTP process, so that device that can't, doesn't have to?
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at the protocolAuthentication, protocolUsername, and protocolPassword options for the stunnel config file.
G'luck, Peter
