The only changes to a stock system are make pop syslog to a Then, however, you have to open pop up to the world. While better than opening SMTP to the world, it isn't very desirable. I would like to use IPSec + the built in IPSec cababilities of Win2k to create secure access to the mail server for roaming users. Getting Win2k connected over IPSec from a static IP was no problem (I used a howto from DaemonNews, I think), but is there a way to do this with roaming users whos IPs change as the wind blows? I assume that there is; I haven't spent much time looking into it, yet. What I'm really not sure about though, is how, if possible, to restrict access to network services to only VPN-authenticated clients. I use ipfw to block connections from networks external to our own. I would like the roaming laptop users to be able to connect over IPSec from anywhere, and have access to IMAP & SMTP, etc. I know that this is an issue that others are dealing with too. Does anyone know of any reference material on how to go about this?
