 FCKGW join:2003-01-07 Eureka, CA | If your mail client doesn't support SSL, you can use Stunnel to forward and encrypt port 25 traffic to your SMTPS server. Just have it take traffic on port 25 and redirect it to port 465 on your SMTPS server, and tell your mail client to use localhost for SMTP on port 25. I'm using it with Calypso, and it works great.
As long as you're encrypting your SMTP traffic, you might as well do it to your POP3 or IMAP connections as well if the server supports it, since your username and password are being sent.
BTW, thanks for blocking port 25, Cox. If you hadn't, I would've never learned how to use Stunnel and wouldn't be using it to encrypt SMTP, POP3, and VNC.  -- Keyboard error or no keyboard present. Press F1 to continue. |
