Really old email server and really old list server

Is there a way to allow my really old list server and my really old secondary mail server to access MIaB without using SLS or TLS but continue not allowing any other server to do so? Yes, that is how old they are; but they work amazingly well still just not with encryption.

Primarily, I would like the list server to send out the emails via the MIaB so that google and outlook will be happy with the emails since DKIM could be used along with my SPF records. Would also save me a step if the list server could access the accounts used for each list that it hosts.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking. What do you mean with secondary email server?
Anyway, can’t you create a user on the MiaB server and use tbe user credentials to let e.g. the list server send mails?

That doesn’t work because the server requires a secure connection and the really old list server doesn’t know how to do that (hence the reason the very old email server is still in use). Hypothetically I could remove the requirement of a secure connection but that would affect the entire server rather than just one account; no? I would like to do it for a single account.

Perhaps it works if you connect to port 25? That doesn’t require emcryption

I thought that would work, but the same outcome of lost connection.
Thanks for trying.
