I've got the ssh tunnel opening up for fetchmail now, but either 1) I
have to keep the password in plaintext in .fetchmailrc, or 2) it
prompts me each time I fetch the mail. I've got an authorized_keys
file so ssh doesn't ask me, but the pop daemon still needs a password.
APOP looks attractive b/c it's a different password in the
.fetchmailrc file, but I wasn't able to get it working.
Does apop come/work with qpopper only? I have popa3d currently
running on my FreeBSD server. I installed qpopper 4.0.1 and attempted
it for a while, but with no success.
Thanks,
Rob
