Hi everyone,
I am having some problems setting up pine && .pinerc using
FreeBSD 6.0 - STABLE. My ISP uses POP and I am using thier SMTP for
outgoing. I spoke to the helpdesk and the POP server does not support ssl.
Pine was compiled and installed with support for POP3
here are some lines from my .pinerc;
smtp-server=mail.myisp.net.au
inbox-path={pop.myisp.net.au/pop3}inbox
When I launch pine with the above settings Pine uses INSECURE login and
password. Even though the login is INSECURE, I can access my mail and use
newsgroups.
I have tried using;
inbox-path={pop.myisp.net.au/pop3/secure}inbox
but when I launch pine I get the error message;
'Can't do secure authentication with this server'
If you can offer advice could you please CC me as I am not subscribed to
the questions list. I know this question is not an OS question, but I
do not like the idea of sending my login details unencrypted through
the ISP network.
Thankyou,
caleb
