Hi all,
attached is a patch with a few SMTP-related extensions:
1. implement TLS client certificate support
2. rework the smtp config dialogue.
Re. #1: some ISP's use client certificates to authenticate MUA's against their
mail servers, either as a machine authentication (which would still need the
usual RFC 5321 authentication), or as a user authentication from the
certificate's CN which is then anonymous from the SMTP pov. Client
certificates are used rarely, though, and I wonder if it ever worked with the
old implementation where it was possible to set the certificate passphrase, but
not the certificate itself. I did not implement a dialogue for the certificate
passphrase, i.e. it must be given in the config.
Re. #2: I rearranged the config items for SMTP on two notebook tabs, shifting
the somewhat exotic options (client cert, message splitting) to the second
page. I also added more items and more controls for widget sensitivity as to
distinguish between anonymous access and authentication etc. more clearly.
Note that it may be necessary to check the configuration settings after
applying the patch.
Opinions?
All three patches look good to me--pushed to master!
Peter
