finally our mail server adminiatrator added SSL support for our *spit* Exchange 2000 server. Has somebody of you a hint how to configure my mail client (actually I'm using fetchmail to get the mails) so I don't need to put my password in plain text onto the wire anymore ?

Did you read the fetchmail man page already? The option --ssl (keyword ssl) is your friend. HTH Johannes

These are the options I use: poll pop.mymailserver.com protocol pop3 username myusernamehere password mypasswordhere options ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" Hope that helps -- Viel Spaß Nix - nix@susesecurity.com http://www.susesecurity.com On Fri, 10 Aug 2001 10:07:51 +0200 Bjoern Engels wrote:

I didn't know that option yet.

I solved it with # /usr/sbin/stunnel -c -r 192.168.100.21:993 -d 143 and I let fetchmail now poll localhost.
