You don't need ssh access to the mail server. But remember that the connection between the server to which you ssh and the mail server is still going to be unencrypted. ssh -L 110:mail.server.110 -l myid ssh.server > Moreover, I don't think this will be possible if port forwarding is > disabled on the ssh server, so I guess that would be the first > requirement. That's right. The ssh server should have AllowTcpForwarding set to "yes". But as the sshd_config manpage notes, setting this to "no" doesn't really provide any extra security.
