I'm having some problems getting The Bat to speak SMTP over TLS to my
server. Relevent details are as follows:
The Bat 1.61
Qmail 1.03 on Linux 2.4.18
I've patched qmail with the SMTP-auth/SSL patch from
http://students.imsa.edu/~ngroot/qmail-1.03-starttls-smtp-auth.patch
(the one linked to from the qmail page)
I've got qmail set up to use STARTTLS connections on port 25, not TLS
connections on port 465, and I've configured The Bat likewise (tried
no auth, normal auth, and MD5 auth)
I can get Microsoft Outlook Express and Mozilla mail to post email
through this fine (Once I tell them about the self-signed certificate
of the server).
I've gone into the address book and added an entry for my certificate
and imported the relevant certificate file, which has eliminated the
error I was getting before.
Now, when I try to post a new email, I get an error (in a box and the
log) saying "Server reports error. The response is: ready for tls tls.
Sniffing the connection shows Qmail sending the same sequence of 3
bytes to The Bat, three times, and each time, The Bat seeming to
respond with nothing.

Can anyone shed any light on this, or how I can get The Bat working
with this SMTP server? I've tried asking google and google groups,
with no luck :(

Thanks

Phil
