I figured I'd try cyrus, I remember hearing that one is a good mail server. But I'm new to the mail server thing, and I'm not even sure where to look for some of this stuff if anyone can help. Also, I plan on just doing POP3, and only allowing secure connections - if anyone can reccomend a good, simple server for that, that they think is better than Cyrus, I won't object. My main question is on authentication. I was looking at authentication types in kmail to get an idea of what I can use, and I found: Clear text LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 Digest-MD5 NTLM GSSAPI APOP I know clear text is not what I want - if I remember, that's unencrypted. Does TLS/SSL make this a non-issue? What about the other methdods? Aside from keeping it in a quiet comfortable jail (done) and not on a server with anything else important, any suggestions? Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
