Thanks for the reply. I will have a look at smtpctl encrypt...
According to this ressource (section "Credentials tables"): https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.9/table.5 ------------------------------------------------------ In a relay context, the credentials are a mapping of labels and username:password pairs: label1 user:password The label must be unique and is used as a selector for the proper credentials when multiple credentials are valid for a single destination. The password is not encrypted as it must be provided to the remote host. ------------------------------------------------------ It clearly states that the password must be not encrypted. Maybe this man page is not up to date ? And I run and old OpenSMTPD v6.4.0 with relaying e-mails to a gmail account and it does work with not-encrypted password in the secret file. When did this requirement of encrypted password change ? Regards.
