Is there any way to get SSL to work with ASSP? Or is that a whole new

ASSP is an *SMTP* proxy. If you encrypt the traffic, ASSP cant listen
to it. Place ASSP in an unencrypted part of your topology.

So for outgoing email, I need to have a SSL SMTP proxy server between the mail client and ASSP?

SSL encryption/decryption would take a performance hit.

But Postfix and ASSP are on the same machine, so that machine is doing the decryption - so no performance hit.

I think that
this is out of scope for the project, but I cant say for sure in terms
of any easy adaptation via a Perl module.

Seem to be a few SSL Perl modules on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=ssl&mode=all

Don't know if any of them could be used.

Thanks,

James.

BTW, has www.magicvillage.de gone down? I can't seem to access Fritz's assp page.
