POP3 is a joke and if you POP3 into a machine on which you have a shell account, you are stupid (or using windoze). alternatives are SSH tunnels, local checking, or SSL POP3. > if so, ssh in as a regular user, > run elm/pine locally on the server and delete the emails ... > - send/reply to the emails from the server of set up an SSH tunnel and check your mail against that. i personally used the latter until i installed sslwrap and now i have port 995 open for POP3 over SSL. martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- scintillation is not always identification for an auric substance.
