Re: "Hol up a second. Yall mean to tell me that somebody's..."
@clseibold, OK I am getting hung up on how to use the certificate in the misfinmail client. I did successfully copy my admin.pem certificate from my server and imported it into Lagrange to view the gemini interface of the server. However when trying to use this same file with the misfinmail client I get:
60 This mailserver doesn't accept anonymous mail, and you need to repeat your request with a certificate.
Also, Lagrange extracts a .crt version of the certificate from the .pem file, so I tried to use this as well with the mail client but got the same result. So what certificate needs to be used with the mail client?
Edit:
This is my path to the cert, which does exist. I also tried with the admin.pem file.
sender-cert: ~/Documents/misfin/mail.crt

Couldn't open certificate at location '~/Documents/misfin/admin.pem'. Make sure the cert is configured correctly in '~/misfinmail.conf' and that the cert is accessible by the user.
open ~/Documents/misfin/admin.pem: no such file or directory
But when I changed it to the fully explicit path I was able to send mail! So the ~ doesn't work when defining the cert fle.

@clseibold, I am on Fedora KDE which does provide ~/Documents, ~/Downloads, etc.
Fetch still isn't working. I get output telling me where it is fetching from and to which looks right, but no file is created and no error messages.
Hol up a second. Yall mean to tell me that somebody's cooking up an actual mail protocol inside geminispace? BRUH. Now I wanna try actually messing with implementing a protocol spec from the ground up for once, instead of watching and thinking "Wow that would be cool." Because email is a pain. Port 25 is a gateway to sadness as a sysadmin. This, however, seems simple and clean enough to actually be fun to handle and use, AND just might work for this environment. Nice!
