The easiest thing to do, in order to receive and send email safely, is to ssh on the machine, then run a text mail client. You may play around for a different solution, but the underlying problems will not be solved. To quickly see my point here, think about the SPAM and the blacklisting phenomenon. The present situation, as I understand it, is that the MTA does not certify the sender. This is what triggers the SPAM relay problem, the need for blacklisting and the consequent impediment to send emails as [EMAIL PROTECTED] via say, aol.com. Using SSL sounds good, but is not standard and is not that easy.
