[Workaround.org] trying to use SSL or TLS for allowing relay (STEP 9)

Just a thought on SSL and Thunderbird: Did you specify port 993 when
trying to imap from Thunderbird into your mailserver (and have it open
in your firewall/router)? Also, you may have to add the following to
your dovecot.conf:
protocol imap {
...
login_greeting_capability = yes
imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}
I use Thunderbird and SSL and that works.

PS Is your main question about using a relayhost, or simply sending from
outside?
