Hey All, I am reading through some of the documentation on SSH and popa3d, and I am not quite sure how to configure my mail server for secure POP3 that other clients can use without using additional tools such as stunnel. I am reading the ssh(1) man page, and I actually found some interesting things in the fetchmail(1) page, but that's not base.
If I just wanted to setup a secure email server using only what's in base to provide secure POP3 to clients, can someone provide some hints? It seems like I can easily do this client-side, by using tcp forwarding and ssh, and with fetchmail I can automate this using the preconnect keyword, but I do not see a way to do all the securing on the server side, so that if someone, say, on Windows wants to use my server, they can just use a secure connection from one of the common email clients available on that platform. Is there a way to do this with only the tools and software in base? Sincerely, Aaron Hsu
