Thanks Bruce and Rod! I think you've answered my question.
If we were to use SSL - and "force" it, would that take the non secure "LOGIN" authentication method away from the server - or would it still announce that - along with the other methods? It's funny - I just had the conversation with a member of the team that I'm working with to try and get IMail to pass through this Qualys reporting and they didn't seem to care that even though the login / authentication would be secure that the message content may not be... Call me crazy - but that just seems backwards to me. Thanks for your help guys! I feel like I understand the options a bit more.

If you are concerned about security, then there are options to encrypt the message between the CLIENT and the SERVER. Remember, however, that MOST of the connections between e-mail servers are using PLAIN TEXT to send messages and attachments and nothing within any message is secure unless the entire message has been encrypted.

The issue isn't can they authenticate, its can they authenticate without their password being compromised. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The avalanche has already started, it is too Rod Dorman late for the pebbles to vote." - Ambassador Kosh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
