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
