<p>I just want to post an interesting fact regarding <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/47326-os-x-el-capitain-smtp-mail-connection">
https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/47326-os-x-el-c...</a>
... 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 :-)</p>
<p>After some further troubleshooting I can confirm that this issue
is not caused by<br>
-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)</p>
<p>If I am connected via VPN and try to receive mails via OSX
Mail.app the same issue occurs.<br>
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<br>
eg:<br>
hostname: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465, security layer:
kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelTLSv1 (Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain
Code=60 "Operation timed out")</p>
<p>seems like the big data players don't like the mixture of VPN +
TLS + apps like GPGTools etc etc etc</p></div>Markustag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/387456232016-01-13T11:29:30Z2016-01-13T11:29:30ZOSX El Captian SMTP Timeouts caused by...<div><p>Hi Markus,</p>
