Hello All,

I am seeking advice in setting a secure pop server. My goal is
to have no clear text transmission and also a secure transfer from
client to server and server to client. I am currently running redhat 9
and have this layout in mind. I would have qpopper as the server (or
the default server for redhat which I think is ipop3d?), and use a
stunnel wrap to enycrpt my pop3 port (995), which uses the openssl
library from what I read. Now for the questions.
First off I am not sure what the difference between qpopper and the
default ipop3d? Is there an conflict with ipop3d and openssl? Next are
there any security flaws in my layout, or maybe complications/
conflictions with these programs?
Lastly is the reason for qpopper instead of ipop3d because qpopper
supports APOP which can be used to encrypt user passwords??
Any help would be great, I am very confused.
Thanks in advance
