WakelessFoil Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 So I just got stunnel working on my pi so I can now read my gmail on my Macintosh Plus using Eudora Lite 1.x! There is one problem though, I cannot send emails because of what I believe to be a security problem. I am not sure what's wrong but I get this error message (see below) when the mac tries to send emails to stunnel. I think stunnel is expecting the messages to already be secured or it is expecting smtp authorization. I am not sure how to fix this as I have very little IT background, hopefully someone here smarter can help! Thanks. PS: I also attached an image of my stunnel.conf file on the pi.

I’m certain now that Eudora is not sending the smtp authorization that stunnel requires to send mail to gmail. I’m currently looking for a service/program that I can run on my raspberry pi that will add in the smtp credentials for stunnel as I believe I can’t do that within stunnel itself.

PowerPup Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 You might be able to utilize Baton Mail on the Mac Plus to add SMTP authentication: http://web.archive.org/web/20060615060729/http://www.mythtech.net/baton.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) What version of the OS are you running? Could you just use a more recent version of Eudora like Eudora 3.x? Might be some meaningful tidbits on this webpages: https://www.fenestrated.net/mac/68kMail/ https://lowendmac.com/misc/01/0716.html https://www.jagshouse.com/mulberry.html Looks like Mulberry Mail is one of the very few options you have for 68k mail clients with SMTP auth support: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/2681-mulberry-2-x-email-client- ^ looks to be downloadable here, though IDK what the feature set is without a license key.. http://bylenga.ddns.net/index.php?page=68KEmail.php ^ a little setup explanation Edited April 23, 2020 by Nathan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hopfenholz Posted Thursday at 08:15 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:15 PM It seems that Gmail ended SSLv3 support way back in 2016 and these old solutions (Baton, Mulberry) don't work for Gmail today. Shame. I'm still researching, if anyone has IMAP Gmail access working on a Classic Mac OS system I'd love to hear about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hopfenholz Posted Friday at 10:09 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:09 AM (edited) I've just got stunnel working on my Raspberry pi (rescued from the bottom of a drawer). Was pretty painless! Now to try and get a mail client working Edited Friday at 10:10 AM by Hopfenholz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
