[CentOS] Entourage X and Sendmail STARTTLS on CentOS 4.4
I have a user who has Mac OS 10.4.8 with Entourage X. The email server is sendmail 8.13.8 and is setup to use STARTTLS on a CentOS 4.4 system. It appears from everything I have googled that only Entourage 2004 will properly function with STARTTLS. Has anybody any experience with Entourage X ... specifically is there something I am missing regarding the CentOS server setup or are all Entourage prior to the 2004 version indeed broken in regards to STARTTLS? I have just done the usual stuff that seems to work for Thunderbird, Evolution, Outlook, Mac Mail and the latest Eudora. On the sendmail server side: define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p y')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`LOGIN PLAIN')dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl (purposely not showing the certificate config) On the Entourage X client side: Checked the box "SMTP service requires secure connection (SSL) Checked the box "SMTP server requires authentication Checked the box "Use the same settings as receiving mail server" Entourage X returns an error indicating: "The SMTP server for "MRIC" does not recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Entourage." Can anyone verify that Entourage X does not work with STARTTLS and/or suggest a work around? I am hoping that upgrading to Entourage 2004 is not the only answer. Thanks for you rhelp. -- Paul (ganci at nurdog.com)

Try enabling implicit SSL port in Sendmail's configuration by adding this line: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s') After adding that line, Sendmail will listen on port 465 (smtps) in addition to port 25. You'll have SSL on port 465, and on port 25 you can have plaintext or TLS (after client issues STARTTLS).
