Sounds like a good reason to enable TLS on all the SMTP servers under your control... Anonymous TLS won't stop a man-in-the-middle; but it will block plain snooping. And it's generally pretty easy to do. The more sites that implement it, the more secure the mail infrastructure is from random snooping. (Of course, to get anything approaching real security, the server and client need to check each other's certs. Which requires a certificate handling infrastructure...) -Pat _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
