Comment (by mikeperry):
In a fit of desperation, I set up my mail client to use an SSH
LocalForward to iranicum as a SMTP server. Preliminary testing indicates
that my emails aren't going into SPAM folders of MIT and gmail anymore.
Because I also don't like to connect directly to tor project
infrastructure from whatever network I happen to be on, I also do this
over my TBB's Tor SOCKS port.
Here's a .ssh/config block that does all this:
{{{
host iranicum
Hostname iranicum.torproject.org
ProxyCommand /usr/bin/nc -X 5 -x 127.0.0.1:9150 %h %p # Use TBB's Tor
to get to iranicum
LocalForward 2525 127.0.0.1:25 # Forward my 2525 to iranicum:25
}}}
I then tell my mailclient that when I send mail as my @torproject.org
address, use 127.0.0.1:2525 with STARTTLS, and no auth. After I run `ssh
iranicum` and store an exception for the cert, it works.
No LDAP! Just netcat, duct tape, and bubblegum.
I'll update this ticket if I notice that any mails fail to go through
still.
