Logic Exception

Finally decided to port all my work in my subversion repostiry to Git... A couple of tips that may be helpful for new starters: 1. In order to do an svn export, simply execute: git archive | tar -x -C /path/to/dir 2. To revert local edits, run: git checkout filename 3. The concept of remotes was confusing at the beginning. Think of them as shortcuts to remote repositories. So instead of typing complex URL's, all you need to do is git push remote branch git pull remote branch once a remote is added. 3. Enjoy your merges :)

SSL/TLS vs STARTTLS This seemed to be confusing at first but here is what it boils down to: With STARTTLS, an existing TCP connection is upgraded to an encrypted one after the SMTP handshake. On the other hand, with SSL/TLS, an ecnrypted connection is negiotiated right away before an SMTP handshake takes place. In other words, STARTTLS is "TLS inside SMTP", while SSL/TLS is "SMTP inside TLS". See this page for more information. Another important difference between these two schemes is that STARTTLS does not require a separate port. You can continue to use the same smtp (25) or imap (143) port. SSL/TLS on the other hand requires separate smtp (465) and imap (993) ports. Setup I wanted to implement a STARTTLS scheme; however, I decided to revert back to SSL/TLS due to: 1. I am running Dovecot dovecot-1.0.7 on CentOS release 5.5. Unfortunately for me, I was not able to require SSL connections since the "ssl = required" configuration option is not av...
