year together with IMail server 7.1x and WS FTP-Server 3.14 (each service on
a separate machine) without any problems. All with the standard dll's;-) All
machines are w2k sp3. Earlier it was Sybase AdaptiveServer Anywhere 6.0.x,
and there where not problems too.

> Ives,

> This is encouraging news to me.  As you know, in terms of POP3 clients,
such as Outlook, the Imail POP3 service cannot be configured to use SSL.
Thus, even if Kerberos is keeping NT/AD usernames and passwords from flying
around your network in clear-text, the second someone checks their email
with a standard POP3 client the information is sent to Imail POP3 in the
clear.  So much for security...just set a sniffer to scan all POP3 traffic
that contains "user" and "pass".
>
> Can you clarify, with your experience with this product you mention below
(I beleive they are called SSL offloaders), could one set this appliance
infront of the mail server to eliminate POP3 passwords from being sent
through the internal network in the clear?  Thus providing a enternal
end-to-end tunel from the POP3 client to the SSL offloader - which I'm
guessing has one port that leads to the network and another that links right
into the Imail server.

the way to go unless a new competitor has a cheaper product available
(SonicWall and CISCO aren't cheap - the investment is worth it if you need
the security and performance).
