I just activated this. What does work? Do you see the prompt which asks for a email password reset after entering the password wrong x times?

My BBS is running under Debian 10. Are you running your own mail server as well ? I am hosting my own mailserver on the localhost, and I didn't have any issues getting Mystic to connect and send through my smtp server. However, most likely making sure cryptlib is loaded by Mystic properly.

I use a different mail server. I was unaware I need to setup cryptlib.

Do they support or have a 64 bit version?

If I remember correctly I had to edit the make/config files to get it to compile correctly on debian with AMD-64bit. I will have to dig what I had to modify on my system for cryptlib to config/make and compile correctly.

Yes, but it fails to send... I've turned on debug logging and it doesn't indicate why. Just states it couldn't connect to the SMTP server.

So SSH is working, so I'm assuming cryptlib is working properly? Yet email is failing still.

I think I answered this, and yes I see it but it times out when trying to send.

I'm not able to compile cryptlib but I found a copy. SSH is working using it, so I would imagine SMTP email relay would work with it too?

I went through this recently myself when I switched over to Linux.. I had to use a work around not an easy one to assemble 3.4.5 and ssh and smtp works fine with it. I downloaded one from one of the BBS' and it worked great for SSH but SMTP did not work it would time out.. I posted what I did in another post here which I copied from a post from the original author from the Mystic Fido Echo. You can try it and see how it works for you.. It worked fine for me..

Mhm I dont know but it seems reasonable to believe that it should. Did you try to use a seperate program/script to test the SMTP connection?

So I managed to get cryptlib compiled. I've also stored this modified version under my file area for anyone else.

Lastly, still failed to work with fastmail. However, I updated it to use gmail and it works with gmail.

So it's something to do with fastmail?
