Actually this is really easy to implement using the "stunnel" package (look in the ports area under security) and the "OpenSSL" package (used to be SSLeay). With this combination, you can provide any service you want over SSL and you don't have to recompile anything. Beware though that not too many clients do POP3 over SSL. Notably Netscape does not do it: it only supports IMAP over SSL. There is also a package named bjorb that does the same thing as stunnel, but I did not manage to make it work. Have fun, Patrick. -- Patrick Bihan-Faou, email: patrick.bihan-faou@mindstep.com MindStep Corporation tel: (613) 526 5062 fax: (613) 526 2417 web: www.mindstep.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
