If your users have access to ssh and are running unix-like OSes, I've written some scripts which use ssh and movemail to fetch email. I call the scripts fmail. I got tired, even with ssh redirected POP, of the time and slow handshaking of the POP protocol. Now I get full speed (bandwidth) delivery of my email via an encrypted and compressed channel. Myself and one other person have been using the scripts for months. fmail requires (well not exactly) passwordless ssh entry into the system with the mail. Basically requires that you copy localhost:~account/.ssh/identity.pub to mailhost:~account/.ssh/authorized_keys -- Brian Litzinger <brian@litzinger.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
