NAGgers:

 

One of my faculty is setting up some remote sensing equipment that uses
cell phones to phone home the data.  It does so over e-mail, and so we
need to configure the box like an email client.  We've been struggling
to send a message for some time now, and reading through the
documentation, we found a note that this device can do authentication,
but cannot do SSL.  Also, it's hard coded (we can't change it) to use
port 25.

 

We called MSU helpline and the student? confirmed that MSU does accept
SMTP connections on port 25, does require authentication, and, does
require SSL - giving us a dilemma.

 

Is there an SMTP server at MSU which we can use that doesn't require SSL
encryption? It seems likely that someone has run into this sort of thing
before with other old or specialty equipment.

 

Thanks
