From: "Jun Tanamal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Jun,
I'm not really sure about pop3 over ssl but I make it to work with imap over ssl. In imap over ssl, installation and configurations steps are very straight and simple. First you have to extract and build openssl. Then create a server certificate with these command: # /usr/local/ssl/certs <--- this must be different from your installation path # openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem -days 365 Extract, build and install the stunnel package followed by imapd package.
