The eighth annual BarCamp Grand Rapids will be on Friday, August 23 and Saturday, August 24, 2013 at Calvin College?s DeVos Communications Center. To register for free, visit: http://barcampgr.org/register/ New to BarCampGR or want more information? Read on. What is BarCampGR? BarCamp is about meeting interesting people, talking about what you want to talk about, and listening to what you're interested in. Subjects of discussion have ranged from web programming and digital photography to computer vision and turkey basting. (No, there wasn't a talk on having a computer visually monitor your turkey, but if you've tried it, you're welcome to report on your experiences!) You see, the talks are not set beforehand, it's you, the attendees, who give BarCampGR direction and content. What's the format? Presentations are 25 minutes long, with five minutes in between. You're welcome to sit in on a presentation or hang around in the lounge and talk; it's all the same with us. If you run a presentation, we don't care how you run it - so long as you don't get us in trouble! Give a monologue, a Q&A or a round table; it's your topic, your presentation, your audience. If people didn't want to spend 25 minutes on your topic, they wouldn't be there. Don't know what to talk about? Certainly you have some relatively unique experiences. What do you do for a hobby? What's something you managed to fix that you're proud of? It doesn't matter if the height of your accomplishment is changing your car's oil or if you've war-driven half of the Grand Rapids area; if people are interested, they will show up at your talk. If they aren?t, they will probably attend one of the other talks during that time. But I'm not an expert! Sure you are! If you know the first thing about a subject, you know more than people who don't. And, yes, people who know more than you will probably attend your presentation. Interact with them; you both have something to learn from each other. Chances are, if you're both really interested in a subject, you'll find yourselves looking for each other in the lounge, later. But perhaps you're... Shy? That's fine. Come on in, take a look around and get a feel for things. It's a two-day event; come by on Friday, sit in on the presentations which interest you or hang around in the lounge and network with other people. Perhaps you'll be inspired to talk about something later, or on Saturday. You never really know. If you'd like to be able to listen, but don't know if you'll have anything to say, you can still... Help Out On the days of the event itself, we typically need greeters, people to babysit the facility overnight (some folks stay overnight), people to respond to technical issues such as "why won't the projector work with my laptop" and "could someone turn down the lights so we could see the screen?" We also have a subreddit again this year, r/BarCampGR. Use it to ask for certain subjects to be covered. Use it to offer subjects that you can talk about. During the event, use it to have almost-live discussions about things with people who aren't immediately present. After the event, use it to post supplemental materials and ask followup questions. We have a lot of other ways you can keep up to date on BarCampGR news and updates via the following social media outlets: * Website: http://barcampgr.org * Campers Email List: http://lists.barcampgr.org/listinfo.cgi/campers-barcampgr.org * Twitter: @barcampgr * Subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/BarCampGR/ * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/BarCampGR/112347402141619 * Google+: https://plus.google.com/b/116952079842867940611/ * IRC: #barcampgr on Freenode * LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/479534?trk=tyah Also, if you'd like to help us organize BarCampGR, then sign up for the BarCampGR Organizers' Email Group and jump right into the conversation at http://lists.barcampgr.org/listinfo.cgi/organizers-barcampgr.org REGISTRATION http://barcampgr.org/register/ LOCATION DeVos Communications Center at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI SCHEDULE Friday, August 23, 2013 5:00-6:00 PM - Check-in and setup 6:00-7:00 PM - Dinner 7:00 PM - Kick things off with opening session 7:30-9:30 PM - Sessions every 1/2 hour 9:30 PM - After party Overnight 10:00 PM-whenever the next morning - Camping, all-night hacking, etc. Midnight BBQ There will be plenty of room to crash on Friday night, so bring a sleeping bag. Better yet, bring a tent for the geek base camp. Saturday, August 24, 2013 9:00-10:00 AM - Continental Breakfast 10:00 AM-12:00 PM - Sessions every 1/2 hour 12:00-1:00 PM - Lunch 1:00-2:00 PM - 5 minute Lightning Talks 2:00-4:00 PM - Sessions every 1/2 hour 4:00-4:30 PM - Closing session 4:30-5:30 PM - Cleanup * Note, despite the 'bar' in BarCampGR, the event doesn't take place in a bar, only the (optional) Friday after-party does.

'Evolution' does not force SSL for those ports - those ports are *for* SSL secured connections; hence "imaps" and "pops". Any other use of those ports is simply incorrect. If you are using TLS then you just use the normal 110 & 143 ports. Assuming your server/provider supports TLS. >Is it *POSSIBLE* to use Evolution with an internal email server (no >security)?

That would have been helpful to know in the original question SMTP doesn't have SSL by default (on port 25) Instead a server offers it in the capabilities and the connecting end chooses TLS by sending a start command. I'm guessing but your server is offering TLS but likely has an unsigned or untrusted certificate that is causing the connection to fail. I'm going to guess that you are trying to send mail via exchange? Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After the 220 banner messages type "EHLO client.example.com" press enter and cut and past the entire session here. No mail client can use SSL by default on port 25. It will fail on every server. SMTP over SSL should be on port 465. SSL on port 25 can be requested by the client but only after the server offers the option. Something more subtle than an configuration option is at work here. Evolution also had a bug for awhile where messages compared while SSL options were turned on would never be sent if SSL was later turned off...but that was a long time ago.

No. It connects to a myriad SMTP & IMAP servers without issue. You haven't provided anything that indicates a bug. From lvl at omnitec.net Mon Jul 29 13:35:14 2013 From: lvl at omnitec.net (L. V.

Besides, with encryption turned OFF, the appearance of a "Cannot STARTTLS" would certainly seem like a problem.

There were a few bugs in Sendmail's TLS handling around 8.14 that can cause this very issue, though I'm still at a loss as to why its happening on a server with TLS disabled. It may be you are correct, and Evolution is sending STARTTLS and looking for the command to be rejected, instead of verifying that the server even offers it as an option. Either that of the starttls error is a red herring, and something else is wrong. (I found one article saying that not having the authentication username filled in might cause this error.) A wireshark capture of the TCP session would be very interesting, I think.

If the server does not offer authentication it might be reasonable to try to protect the connection and then try - as most servers will not offer authentication on an unprotected connection. > A wireshark capture of the TCP session would be very interesting, I think. Exactly, use-the-tools! I always go for Wireshark first thing when there is some kind of network service issue; otherwise there is just a lot speculative he-said-she-said.
