Re: POP/IMAP server - more NEWBIE

[Technology Strategic Planning, Inc.]

For one, how good is the IMAP encryption?  Is it just preventing casual
browsing, serious private attempts, or people with supercomputers?

How about VPN solutions?
Is there a decent Linux server for MS's VPN?  I have an NT server (with
scads of processing power), but am afraid to expose it to the internet in
any way, shape, or form.  The mail server will be inside of a DMZ once I get
things up and running fully - which is a much better place to do this from.
How about the PGP based IP tunneling?  Any experiences or impressions?  Is
this overkill?

Should I be concerned if we have to carry it on a laptop across borders?
