Description

Greetings,

I have my server, crankylinuxuser.net serving imap. After setting up the email node, I get the following error via console:

[info] [e-mail in:a72f2d64.baf0c8] Error: 140244797482880:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:795:

My server requires encrypted auth before further communicating. This IP block was previously on a spamhaus ban, which necessitated me to raise IMAP/SMTP to max security settings to have it lifted.

Is there a good chance for full encryption support to be added? If not, I'll close this.

Sincerely,
Josh Conway

Start by inspecting the social/email-in node and its IMAP/SMTP connection setup, then reproduce the reported SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO error against the stated server. Define the required encrypted authentication behavior and verify that the node can establish the connection under those settings.
