You might consider disabling external smtp auth service and using ssh tunnel to server to connect to mail. Also provide web based convenience service. It might be interesting to encrypt mail to the user's cloud service that operates in a gpg zone. I think this operation could be mostly transparent to the user, so kids and granpamas can use it without concern. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA 510-830-7975 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
