POP3 encryption



Hi,

I had a setting where encrypting POP3 (the complete session) was a good
idea. A company had 4 different sites, connected between them and to the
world through the internet. They use plain-simple SMTP and POP3 to read
and send mail, and they had a good reason to have a central mail server.
So, they have set up a SSH tunnel from each site to the main site, and so
they solved the problem without resorting to APOP Kerberos etc, all of
which are not supported by all mail software.

Shachar.
