[...] I don't understand U of T's email systems. I connect to the Department of Computer Science servers sometimes. I think that they are run by DCS. There was a big fight last year or so in which the university outsourced email to google (I think; horrible for privacy). Are you talking to a departmental server or a university-wide server?
In any case, they should be easily shamed into upgrading.
DCS runs their own systems for CS students, and occasionally for engineers: http://www.cdf.toronto.edu/ This is very different and totally separate from the general systems that U of T runs. About 4 or 5 years back, U of T deprecated their only UTORmail system, which they ran internally, for "UTMail+", which is Microsoft. They were forcing people to migrate, first students, then clubs, not sure if/when staff accounts were forced over. On 2015-06-30 2:17pm, Matt Price wrote:
Does anyone know if there's any way to instruct postfix (or is it maybe openssl) to violate protocol and permit me to interact with this server? I know there are security risks but I'm kind of screwed if I can't send out mail.
I use the UTMail+ IMAP/SMTP servers with no problem from Icedove/Thunderbird... and I've been doing this for a decade, through the transition from UTORmail to UTMail+... though I've never tried from Postfix. With UTMail+, my SMTP server is pod51008.outlook.com (or something like that). With UTORmail, it was smtp.utoronto.ca or something with extra numbers. (I never used CDF SMTP... I just had my CDF account forward mail to my UTORmail account...) I guess it would help to know what system (or SMTP server) in particular you're using?
