Odhiambo, it has been a while. hope eveyone on the list is well. personally i would not recommend allowing clients to not use encryption. i know this is not about what you asked. i have not toyed with unencrypted smtp, but i would probably do two ports for it. likely easier to configure.

However, now I'd like to still use TLS encryption, but only as an option: 1. If the MuA is not set to use TLS/SSL, then do not use it 2. If it is set to use TLS/SSL, then use it. The following line requires TLS encryption for all authenticated connections: auth_advertise_hosts = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{}{*}} How do I combine the two auth_advertise_hosts - one with encryption and one without? Both on ports other than 25 (e.g 587 or 465) Or maybe advertise encrypted ASMTP on 465 and unencrypted on 587? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' :-)
