[erlang-questions] Erlang + SMTP + TLS/SSL

[Tony Garnock-Jones]

Hi Dmitrii,

Do you want a TLS-enabled SMTP *server* or do you want a *client*?

If you're after a server:

 - you could use stunnel4 to use boring old SSL-tunnelled plain SMTP

 - you could write a generic_ssl_server.erl module, by analogy with
   generic_tcp_server.erl, which you could use in smtp_server:start/2
   to get an stunnel4-like effect without requiring a separate wrapper

or

 - you could implement STARTTLS in smtp_server_session.erl. This is
   by far the trickiest of the options :-)

Regards,
  Tony
