Outside of SMTP and www, what are you doing with a open port to use telnet with? Pop3 is BAD, IMAP is BAD. You should be using the encrypted versions of all of these. Anything you can't secure directly should be tunneled via port forwarding with a ssh command. BTW, get used to that need as the more people move to wireless networks. Think how easy it is to roll into a cafe with wireless hotspot and capture usernames and passwords for all those checking email. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
