[lug] POP mail security

[L.C. Tuan]

Hi,

I suppose that your users are inside an intranet, one
way, I think, could be safe is you need a server at
your intranet doing encryption/decryption of all
userids & passwds sending out and another server doing
encryption/decyption work at the ISP's POP server.

Hope it help,
Tuan.
