Emailing within Rev

[George C Brackett]

Thanks, Bernard, for your good ideas.  My problem has been that I  
DON'T have an SMTP SSL server of my own, but maybe I can set one up.  
I'm working on this because my behavior-reporting software needs to be  
able to send email reports to kids and parents via my school's gmail  
account, which requires (a) a different port -- no problem and (b) an  
SSL connection.  But I'm setting up a mail server at the school and  
can now experiment as you suggest. As usual, though, the more I know  
the more there is to know!  I appreciate your help!

Hi George,  Sean knows far more than I do about SMTP (or Rev for that
matter).  However, have you got a SMTP server working with a SMTP mail
client using SSL?

That seems to me to be the first step.  It might be possible to get an
email client that will then log those transactions.  That will give
you something to go on with Rev.

Alternatively, are there not other solutions open to you e.g. using a
VPN client or some kind of SSL/SSH tunnelling.  I'm sure you know that
email is only going to travel securely across a network if the senders
and recipients are all using a properly-configured encrypted channel.
