I used Courier for several years, but now use Binc IMAP. I prefer to do SSL in a separate process, rather than building it into the application. stunnel works well for this. The advantage of doing this is security. Not having built in SSL support means the application can be simpler and doesn't have to link with the insecure OpenSSL library. Keeping the SSL in a separate process prevents a security hole from compromising the main application. I'd rather not use OpenSSL at all, due to it's security history, but I don't know of anything comparable to stunnel that uses a secure SSL library. An stunnel replacement for GnuTLS would be nice. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
