Secure SMTP in Aleph 20

Question

Is it possible to setup Secure SMTP in Aleph 18?
Are there any changes in Aleph 20 for the setup?

Answer

Yes, since Aleph 18, rep_change 1794 you can use the option to use a secure SMTP server for sending e-mails from the Aleph GUI client.

Aleph 18
* In order to use this function add the following lines to .\alephcom\tab\alephcom.ini:

[Mail]
UseSecureSMTP=Y

Changes in Aleph 20
* The above line is redundant. You may remove this line.
The AlephADM menu option for entering a mail server is always available.

* Options in the .\alephcom\tab\alephcom.ini:

[Mail]
AuthMethod=LOGIN
MailServer=MAIL.ORGANIZATION.COM:45

AuthMethod options: LOGIN or PLAIN.
If you do not use secure SMTP, enter nothing.

* For non-standard port enter the port number after the name of the mail server, separated by a colon.

* To use a password for the SMTP server:
- go to AlephADM module
- edit the e-mail settings in the "Configuration" menu.

* MailOptionsDlg moved from .\alephadm\tab\[lng]\window.dat to .\alephcom/tab/[lng]/window.dat.
