You can also create your own package with SSL enabled. 1) Get the source files and packaging files: apt-get source mail-notification 2) Remove --disable-ssl (4.x) or ssl=no (>= 5.4) from debian/rules 3) Create a new entry in the changelog to avoid confusion e.g. 5.4.dfsg.1-1.1 4) Rebuild a package: debuild -B Note that Debian repositories now have mn-5.4.

Re: [Bug 132947] Re: mail-notification lost its ssl/tls ability
The fact that grep returns nothing shows that mail-notification was not compiled with ssl support. The ssl option not being greyed out is likely a bug in the program. (when compiled with --enable-ssl, mail-notification is linked against libssl directly. In feisty this is not the case, and the program has no ssl nor tls support. really) On Mon, Oct 08, 2007 at 10:34:04AM -, Phoenix wrote : > apt-cache policy mail-notification > mail-notification: > Installed: 4.0~rc2.dfsg.1-4build1 > Candidate: 4.0~rc2.dfsg.1-4build1 > Version table: > *** 4.0~rc2.dfsg.1-4build1 0 > 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > > > The "grep" does not show anything, but attached you'll find a screeny of the > settings, there you see that ssl/tls is selectable and if I do so > mail-notiications shows up what' in my mailbox. > > > ** Attachment added: "mail notifications ssl screeny" >http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9868487/mail-notification.png > > -- > mail-notification lost its ssl/tls ability > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132947 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. -- Albin Tonnerre, aka Lutin - Search a little longer, travel a little further -- mail-notification lost its ssl/tls ability https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 132947] Re: mail-notification lost its ssl/tls ability
There's been a patch on the BTS and upstream to fix a ratherwwrong behavior, which was to default to sending passwords in cleartext when ssl was not enabled. The patch was added in debian version 4.0.dfsg.1-2, ie after feisty was released. That could explain why it's not greyed out. But the fact that it's not greyed out does not mean that it does work. You can easily see if the ssl functionnality is enabled by trying the commands I gave above, but you'll find out that it's actually disabled Cheers On 10/21/07, unggnu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can confirm this.
