Paul has also suggested SSL which uses key - certificate, and I'm looking into it. I was able to log into my server from my desktop using the ssh shell as follows, so SSL seem to be running fine on the server. #--------------------- [r...@leland ~]# ssh 192.168.1.109 The authenticity of host '192.168.1.109 (192.168.1.109)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 99:ee:01:19:d8:ff:a, (eg key partially deleted by LelandJ for security) Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.109' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. [email protected]'s password: #--------------------- The next time I used ssh to connect to 192.168.1.109, I received no warning. I was sshing in as root, so the Fedora 6 server would not allow me to connect, which is the correct behavior. I dropped back to user lelandj and was able to connect to 192.168.1.109 over ssl. If I use ssl to connect to my mail server, I'll just need to be sure ssl authentication works with dbmail's method of authentication which I think is LDAP or a password in one of the dbmail tables. I have no plan in getting into dbmail's source code to acquire this information, though.
