# Enabling support for the SMTP STARTTLS
This adds support for opportunistic TLS connections for SMTP-only. Clients that follow the RFC of:
```
S: 220 inbucket Inbucket SMTP ready
C: EHLO openssl.client.net
S: 250-Great, let's get this show on the road
S: 250-8BITMIME
S: 250-STARTTLS
S: 250 SIZE 10240000
C: STARTTLS
S: 220 STARTTLS
C: <starts TLS negotiation>
C & S: <negotiate a TLS session>
C & S: <check result of negotiation>
C: EHLO nowhere.tld
. . .
```
This feature is **disabled** by default.
## Setup
To generate x509 certs:
```bash
$ openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout certificate.key -out certificate.crt -days 1024 -nodes
```
Run inbucket with TLS Enabled (the default private key is **cert.key** and default public key is **cert.crt**) -- you can change these with environmental variable also:
```bash
$ INBUCKET_SMTP_TLSENABLED=true ./inbucket
```
To use openssl's s_client for testing:
```bash
$ cat << EOF | openssl s_client -tls1_2 -starttls smtp -crlf -connect 127.0.0.1:2500 -ign_eof
ehlo nowhere.tld
mail from: <me@me.me>
rcpt to: <you@you.you>
data
Subject: Hello
This is the body
.
QUIT
EOF
```
