I am trying to forward emails that are fetched with fetchmail to another SMTP host, which enforces STARTTLS. I could not find a way to enable TLS in fetchmail. Is this possible at all? If so, how?
It does not appear that fetchmail supports TLS to the SMTP server. This is normally not a problem, as it usually delivers emails locally.
You can work around this by delivering to a local SMTP server and have it handle the delivery. If your don't need or want a full service server like exim4 or postfix, you can use a light-weight relay like esmtp or 'msmtp` to deliver the mail.

Actually your recommendation is what I did. I used
msmtpto forward the mail. It's a nice tool and supports TLS. – Arne Aug 16 '14 at 21:08
