I've invistaged this not long ago. AFAIK, APOP is a good method to get privacy as far as POP3 comm is concerned, but APOP is supported by too little mail clients, mostly Eudora email client (the same company that produces/finances... QPopper). AFAIK, unforutnately, NO APOP support in outlook :-( (why add support when we monopolize the market???).

I'm using qpopper + SSL. See the following guides/information pages:

http://www.networkcomputing.com/1018/1018ws2.html (OLD, but informative)
http://slowest.net/docs/howtos/mail/qpopper-ssl.html (QPopper + SSL "tutorial" guide)


all in all - it works for me like a charm with the winblows clients outlook, outlook express. See in their configuration windows the palce to set the POP server to use SSL (a check box).

good luck,
Boaz.

1. I have a ~20 user pop3 mail system. I don't want passwords out in the
open. I run qpopper 4, which supports APOP, and AFAIK does not support
SPA.

2. My users use Outlook or OE. said clients support SPA, and do not
support APOP. Yes, I am aware SPA is not the most secure thing in the
world, and that it's NT LM 1.0-based, but I can't change the clients.

Suggestions? (qpopper modules? alternate secure & worthwhile pop3
servers?)

Thanks!
