One of those ways is to be able to send and receive email via my server. However, I know this can be a huge security hole and not one I would like to open. I feel that SMTP-AUTH without SSL is probably not that secure so -- 1. Is SMTP-AUTH a pain in the butt to set up? [yes I have read the handbook but I want to make sure] 2. Does SMTP over SSL use a standard SSL cert and is that relatively easy to set up? 3. Has anyone managed to use a chained SSL cert for SMTP over SSL (yes, I'm cheap :) All suggestions, URLs and docs gratefully received, TIA Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
