A patch for mailman-2.1.9
Here's a patch that seems not to break anything (at least). I don't know
whether a new feature would be accepted upstream since Mailman 3 is under
development and this is Mailman 2. I'll try to test this and if it will work
I'll send it upstream.

SMTP Authentication with TLS support (not tested)
Tomas, thanks for the quick fix. I decided to build upon your patch and add
support for TLS connections, as many SMTP servers do not allow authentication
without establishing a TLS connection first.
I should mention that I have *not* tested the patch as I don't have a mailman
installation any more and I don't have the time to set Mailman for a test. I
had the code ready from another project of mine. I am sorry for submitting a
patch without testing it previously, but I hope that it works.
I'll try to test it soon.
Tested both the authentication and TLS and seem to be OK. I'll try to port it to Mailman 3 and send the patches upstream. Sorry, but Mailman 3 handles configuration and SMTP in a completely different way. I've sent the Mailman 2 patch and we'll see. Tomas, thanks. I saw the patch at the mailman patch manager on SourceForge. Let's hope that Mailman 3 supports 'SMTP authentication' and 'SMTP authentication over TLS' by default. |
