Hi<br><br>Having recently installed an ipchains based firewall I want to give my remote users access to our POP3 server which is on the inside of our firewall. The documentation I have read says that merely allowing connections to port 110 is bad as the passwords are exchanged in plain text. <br><br>Does anyone know how I can get around this. Is it possible to use the secure shell demon - and if so is there any available documentation?<br><br>N.B. The POP3 server is Redhat and the mail clients are running MS Outlook.<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br>Gary

Have you tried setting up SSL access to the POP3 server? That's the only way I know of to get secure access to a mail server.<br><br>Steve Kiehl<br>Webmaster, <b><i>Nanovox</i>.com</b>
