Hi, I have a couple of accounts with ISP like hotpop, softhome etc. which provides me POP3 accounts only. Now the password is passed in plain text. Can I establish a tunnel through which I can send the
Two alternatives. See if they offer CRAM-MD5 instead of PLAIN / LOGIN. Then see if they offer TLS encryption.
For example -
220 frodo.hserus.net ESMTP NO UCE ehlo suresh.example.com 250-frodo.hserus.net Hello suresh.example.com [66.102.104.150] 250-SIZE 52428800 250-PIPELINING 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-STARTTLS 250 HELP
So my server offers AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN, and allows you to encrypt your smtp session using TLS (any mailserver linked with SSL libs that sends to my mailserver will do this)
Tunneling POP over ssh is a bit slow and dodgy - better use pop3s (different port, 465) / pop3 over TLS (over the same 110 port).
