SMTP AUTH is really the only solution for roaming users from
unknown/constantly changing remote IPs.  Surf and Sip provides the exact
same feature too <http://www.surfandsip.com/faq.htm> (we/I used qmail,
Boingo uses Exim {highfive to Terry}).

Don't blame Boingo, blame shitty as MUA's (like M$'s Entourage in MacOS
Classic).  MUA's are very anal about SSL certs, Entourage just chokes on
self-signed certs.  

My todo list includes getting a signed cert for mail.surfandsip.net,
once I figure out the proper OpenSSL CLT commands to generate a cert
file that qmail-tls won't chroke on (paging Ben Laurie for a free drink).

Huh?

If the Buffalo is Hermes (Orinogo/Agere) based, it should work in any
version of Windows.  I'm told Prism cards work with the ndis drivers in
Win XP; however I've never had a chance to use their sniffer.
