[Techtalk] RH9, Sendmail, openssl and Eudora

[Pete Durst]

Hi,

I have been searching for an answer on this one, and hope that someone on
this list can help out. I support a large number of windows users, and for
the most part the crowd is either using outlook or eudora for their MUA.
No problems with that. I have succeeded in setting up secure pop and
secure imap for the both of these user groups.

The problem I have, is setting up STARTTLS for the Eudora users. I want to
be able to offer secure sending of mail, and for all the fighting I have
done, I can not get Eudora to play nicely with RH9. I have done some
digging, and realize that it's to do with the version of openssl that is
used in this release of RedHat. What I would like to know is, what's the
best way to get these to entities to play with each other, in a secure
way. (I have the auth part setup and eudora is using the CRAM-MD5 method,
but that alone, does not protect the email, just the name/password).

Many thanks in advance.

Pete
