>I'm no mail expert but seems like most people are using ssl mail now a days and programs like drac (dracauth) make this whole mail thread moot point. Enabling SMTP on an open ap even if it requires authentication seems like a really bad idea that's open for abuse. Dan.
Sadly not true Dan I recently attended a Wi-Fi conference and the air was full of execs from well known companies checking their POP3 Emails with usernames and passwords passing about the room in the clear. A lot of ISP's don't even support SSL thus far. We have a ways to go on the Wi-Fi security side, both from the education and from the implementation perspectives. Personally, I tunnel through VPN so I could care less who's sat there with Ethereal.
