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.

Additional Information
