A cool way to do this with stunnel is: stunnel -d 993 -r myimaphost:143 (or take a look at http://www.stunnel.org/examples/encrypt_services.html) the only problem I've seen with this method is that some imap+ssl combos require a proper signed cert to hook up with the imap server (maybe). that'll cost you a bit of $$. newer versions of outlook express (5.5 sp2 beta) warn about a cert that can't be checked, but eudora (5.1) and mozilla (nightlies) seem to just croak. later, Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Mulvany [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 9:25 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: imap > > > On Mon, Jul 30, 2001 at 10:38:29PM +0000, Jim Breton wrote: > > On Mon, Jul 30, 2001 at 01:54:03PM -0700, Stephen Hassard wrote: > > > I was just playing around securing one of my Exchange > boxes, and found that > > > coupling Stunnel (http://www.stunnel.org/) with your > favourite mail server > > > works really well (not that Exchange is my pick for a > secure mail server) > > > > Indeed, I have been doing exactly that and it works great. > I run Solar > > Designer's 'popa3d' on port 110 for those users which do not have > > clients supporting TLS, but those who do are encouraged to use the > > POP3/TLS running on port 995 which is really just an > stunnel to port 110 > > on the same machine.
