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 -- There is no spoon
