CA=/etc/private/ssl/example.com-ca.crt
smtp2http -T$CERT:$KEY:$CA https://example.com/foo

Enable TLS using cert and key files only.

CERT=/etc/private/ssl/example.com.crt
KEY=/etc/private/ssh/example.com.key
smtp2http -T$CERT:$KEY https://example.com/foo

Enable TLS using single PFX combined cert file.

CERT=/etc/private/ssl/example.com.pfx
smtp2http -T$CERT https://example.com/foo

Install

git clone git@github.com:Zingle/smtp2http.git
cd smtp2http
npm install -g

Development

The SMTP protocol does not provide any way to set thc TCP port used for communication. Because of this, development can be difficult if trying to use public mail providers because you must have an internet facing server listening on port 25.

You can run something like the following to set up a reverse tunnel using a public server to which you have SSH access.

ssh -fNR 25:localhost:2025 root@example.com
SMTP_PORT=2025 smtp2http

In this example, example.com is the public server to which you have access, root is a user with access to open low-numbered ports on that host, 25 is the port this host will listen on (standard SMTP port), and 2025 is the port smtp2http will listen on.
