This makes me wonder of another question - is there a way for a "typical user" (read: MS Windows user) to use a standard pop3 mail program (eudora, netscape mail, etc) to create an encrypted POP3 session? I have several users who have asked me to set up a pop3 server, but I've refused citing the fact that passwords are sent cleartext, as well as data. Any thoughts? I'd be most appreciative :) Thanks, John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
