OSX El Captian SMTP Timeouts caused by...
Hi5!
I just want to post an interesting fact regarding https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/47326-os-x-el-c... ... I had the same issue on an MBP2014 w/ OSX 10.11.2 but I currently have no 3rd party mailbundles activated or any version of GPGTools installed :-)
After some further troubleshooting I can confirm that this issue
is not caused by
-GPGTools -wrong firewall or routing configuration (or just "bad
voodoo" as mentioned in the link above) -your mail-configuration
(eg. 3rd party bundles or the mailprovider's smtp service
availability) It seems like that this "bug" occurs ONLY if you
connect to your mail-provider via some kind of VPN and/or have some
kind of antivirus web-traffic protection (..https: packetinspection
/ SSL certs.. ) activated - (I can't lock out the antivirus
completely)
If I am connected via VPN and try to receive mails via OSX
Mail.app the same issue occurs.
If I am connected via VPN and try to receive mails via Unibox.app
the same issue occurs - the corresponding log file entry would
be
eg:
hostname: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465, security layer:
kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelTLSv1 (Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain
Code=60 "Operation timed out")
seems like the big data players don't like the mixture of VPN + TLS + apps like GPGTools etc etc etc
