You could just use the SSH secure connection method. SSH lets you redirect a local port on your machine, encrypts that, sends it to the SSH server you're connected to, and that sends it to wherever. I use it to pick up my IMAP mail from work, where absolutely no outside connections using passwords are allowed. And my brother SSHs into here to get his POP mail and send it with SMTP. I'm using Cedomir Igaly's SSH client for Windows v2.101 (searching for "cedomir igaly ssh" on yahoo always finds it for me). There's a newer version available with more options, but it seems to have a problem using RSA keys, so I use my old v2.101. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 ( ludwigp@email.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
