Handling outgoing outgoing e-mails - is it possible to establish SSL?

Question

I configure outbound email processing with Tridion 2011, but I get the following error:

errCannotAccessPOP3Account StackTrace Information Details: at Tridion.OutboundEmail.Services.BounceProcessor.BounceInbox.ProcessPop3Mailbox(XmlDocument analyzedMessages) at Tridion.OutboundEmail.Services.BounceProcessor.BounceInbox.ProcessMessages() at Tridion.OutboundEmail.Services.BounceProcessor.BounceProcessorService.ProcessItem(UserContext userContext, BounceInbox inbox) at Tridion.AudienceManagement.DomainModel.Utilities.OutboundEmailServiceBase`1.Process(UserContext userContext) 

OutboundEmail.xml has a section for setting up bounce processing:

 <BounceProcessing> <PollingInterval>300</PollingInterval> <Mailbox name="MailBounce"> <Protocol>POP3</Protocol> <Server>pop.gmail.com</Server> <Port>995</Port> <User></User> <Password></Password> <ImapFolder></ImapFolder> <Forwarding> <Server>localhost</Server> <Port>25</Port> <SenderName>Forwarder</SenderName> <SenderAddress> forwarder@localhost </SenderAddress> <SuccessSubject></SuccessSubject> <SuccessAddress> bounced@localhost </SuccessAddress> <SuccessMessage></SuccessMessage> <FailedSubject></FailedSubject> <FailedAddress> replies@localhost </FailedAddress> <FailedMessage></FailedMessage> </Forwarding> </Mailbox> </BounceProcessing> 

However, to enable SSL, there is no section that might be causing my error?

Can SSL be enabled for outbound processing of Tridion Outbound?

Answer 1

Outgoing e-mail does not specifically handle SSL; an extension request was created to fix it. However, the outgoing email uses the Chilkat software, whose documentation seems to indicate that SSL should be selected automatically when using port 995 (although I have not tried this). The above configuration does not actually contain a user / password, I suppose you really tried it with credentials?
