[newbie] e-mail via SSL

2002-01-12 Thread Lee Roberts

Is there a HOWTO for doing e-mail via SSL?  I found a HOWTO for e-mail via 
SSH but that's not what I want to do (besides, this HOWTO uses telnet to 
access e-mail which I have disabled).

SSL isn't a protocol in and of itself.  It's a way of encrypting
communications between two machines.  You can, however, wrap just about any
protocol in ssl (which is what they've done with pop3 / imap).  Try
linuxdoc.org to see if there is a HOWTO or do a search in your favorite
search engine protocol ssl (where protocol is the type of connection
you want to encrypt).
