SE/30, System 7.5.5, getting email working

[gdanie]

Hi folks,

I got my SE/30 online with the help of many of you here (thanks!) awhile back.  Anyway, the thing is still rocking out, looking great.  I use the computer as much as I use my modern machines.  If it had a soul I am sure that it would appreciate still being useful 28 years after it was first built.

Anyways, one thing I cannot do, is get email to work.  As many of you may know, there is a snafu with encryption and SSL with really any system software predating OS X now.  I was just wondering if there has been any workarounds for this problem introduced in the community that I have missed.  Google is not helping me.  I REALLY want to get email working.  Email and newsgroups would be double plus good.

Thanks!

I did a search and an application called green has smtp authetication which should allow you to send email in 7.5.5

You could also use an intermediate forwarding machine to handle the encryption, but its a clunky solution.

Or if your in a TWC service area, they still use old school methods, with no SSL. Still works here.
