Re: SSL for sendmail

[Pinca George]

Sometimes american humor is good !!   Anyway SSL is a point-to-point protocol and there are not many mail servers supporting SSL out there. So , with SSL your messages will be encrypted just till the first server. That's why SSL is not the best choice to send encrypted mail. If someone needs to send encrypted mail they should use S/MIME or PGP.   George   ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Sampson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 1999 10:06 PM Subject: Re: SSL for sendmail The federal pens are pretty nice.  With a 5 year sentence, it would be like a sabatical, and you could write a great book in that time.  They have computers in the library (SSL capable) :-) Think of the positives.  Right now people like Liddy are worth more after prison than before.  It helps your resume.   Steve "Prisoners shall be listed as fully-employed for all economy statistics"--U.S. Census Manual   -----Original Message----- >> About my implementation: since I wrote it in the US, it won't be >> open source, sorry. > >That you're in the US doesn't mean that you can't publish your code under an Open Source license. Just take a look at www.cryptography.org where a lot of such code is published. Of course it gets mirrored offshore almost instantly, but that is really not your fault...
