RE: Securing Insecure SMTP

["Shenk, Jerry A" <jshenk () decommunications com>]

It sounds like you also need to take a non-ssl program and enable it to
connect to an ssl server.  I have used sslproxy -
http://www.obdev.at/products/ssl-proxy/index.html.  With that, you can
do something like "sslproxy -l 1234 -R [remote server] -r 25 -p ssl23"
where 1234 is that port that will be listening on your box and [remote
server] is the smtp server that is listening with ssl.  If that smtp
server is listening on some port other than 25, obviously use that.

Hi all



                I am presented with a client software that attempts to
connect to an smtp on port 25 . The good part is the smtp server does
not
accept connections on port 25 instead it uses the SSL smtp port. What I
probably need is to proxy the outgoing connections to port 25 so that
they
go to the other port . Any recommendations on how to achieve that ?



Regards
