The only challenge in setting up stunnel is in obtaining a (self-signed?) certificate. And that very same challenge will not go away if and when dbmail acquired STARTTLS capabilities. For SSL/TLS you will allways need a valid certificate and some understanding as to the why. Disto maintainers *can* make things easier by offering to generate self-signed dummy certificates, and setting up things like stunnel for joe-user. But that's about it. Finally, I don't quite understand what you mean by acrobatics when checking multiple accounts... I've updated the wiki entry a bit. It was a bit sparse on details. Hope that helps. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
