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
msmtp
to forward the mail. It's a nice tool and supports TLS.– ArneAug 16, 2014 at 21:08
