Fetchmail is *not* a mailserver, its just a utility to fetch your mail from another mailserver and deliver it to your local machine (or forward it to another mail account). There are plenty of POP3 and IMAP servers in the ports collection that allows encrypted connections. I use imap-uw-2001a for IMAP, and cucipop-1.31 for POP connections, both with SSL support. > >On Tue, 5 Mar 2002, Mike Dewhirst wrote: > >>Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> >>Received: from mail2.registeredsite.com (mail2.registeredsite.com >> [64.224.9.11]) >> by russian-caravan.cloud9.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 936BA28B5C >> for <pete@cloud9.net>; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 09:20:33 -0500 (EST) >>Received: from mail.video2video.com (mail.video2video.com [209.35.10.22]) >> by mail2.registeredsite.com (8.11.6/8.11.4) with ESMTP id >> g25DQ5V30077 >> for <pete@cloud9.net>; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 08:26:06 -0500 >>Received: from mx2.freebsd.org [209.35.10.22] by mail.video2video.com >> (SMTPD32-6.06) id A430EDC00D0; Tue, 05 Mar 2002 09:20:32 -0500 >>Received: from hub.freebsd.org (hub.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.18]) >> by mx2.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP >> id 6FD5655D64; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 06:20:21 -0800 (PST) >> (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) >>Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 538) >> id 2C8AD37B405; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 06:20:18 -0800 (PST) >>Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) >> by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP >> id 4DC852E808C; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 06:20:16 -0800 (PST) >>Received: by hub.freebsd.org (bulk_mailer v1.12); Tue, >> 5 Mar 2002 06:20:16 -0800 >>Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >>Received: from mail3.ucles.org.uk (mail3.ucles.org.uk [192.149.119.13]) >> by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6024337B423 >> for <questions@freebsd.org>; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 06:19:49 -0800 (PST) >>Received: from mail3.ucles.org.uk (unverified) by mail3.ucles.org.uk >> (Content Technologies SMTPRS 4.2.5) with ESMTP id >> <T597342889b803c03320a3@mail3.ucles.org.uk> for <questions@freebsd.org>; >> Tue, 5 Mar 2002 14:17:09 +0000 >>Received: by forest.nrl.navy.mil with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) >> id <F4F2DQGM>; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 14:17:09 -0000 >>Message-ID: <0B0368CED76DD4118E1200D0B73E9B5D041E9F0B@MAIL1> >>From: Mike Dewhirst <Dewhirst.M@UCLES.org.uk> >>To: "'questions@freebsd.org'" <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> >>Subject: mail server >>Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002 14:17:22 -0000 >>MIME-Version: 1.0 >>X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) >>Content-Type: multipart/alternative; >> boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C1C450.777AF860" >>Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >>List-ID: <freebsd-questions.FreeBSD.ORG> >>List-Archive: <http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/>; (Web Archive) >>List-Help: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=help> (List Instructions) >>List-Subscribe: >> <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=subscribe%20freebsd-questions> >>List-Unsubscribe: >> <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=unsubscribe%20freebsd-questions> >>X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG >>Precedence: bulk >> >>What is a good, secure (!) mail server.
