I thought that qmail-pop3d still passed it's passwords in the
clear??? If it does and the server is not inside a firewall
anyone outside could snoop your connection requests etc...

I think he meant that passwords will be sent in cleartext over the network
w/o encryption. This is actually a problem with the POP protocol. But,
qmail-pop3d is secure.
How do you plan on using SSL with POP? I know that SSL and IMAP work nicely
together, but SSL and POP, never heard about that... maybe some SSL proxying
techniques???
