[05] HOW CAN I MAKE A SECURE TUNNEL/CONNECTION FOR POP3/IMAP?
|
|
|
|
To do this, you must first be a MetaARPA member. Second, you must
|
|
have a flexible SSH client on your computer that will allow you to
|
|
create an ssh tunnel/tcp port forward rule.
|
|
|
|
To set up a secure pop3 or imap tunnel, you'll want to issue a
|
|
command on *your* computer similar to this:
|
|
|
|
ssh -l <user> -p 443 -n -N -q -L <port>:mail:<rport> tty.freeshell.org
|
|
|
|
-l <user> Your SDF user id
|
|
-p 443 The MetaARPA sshd server port
|
|
-L <port>:mail:<rport> A local port, the mailserve and a remote port
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
pop3: -L 9999:mx.sdf.org:110
|
|
imap: -L 9999:mx.sdf.org:143
|
|
|
|
Once you have set up this tunnel, then all you need to do is point your
|
|
client (a mailreader, fetchmail, web browser, et cetera) to the 9999
|
|
port on your local host. You will then be using the ssh tunnel to
|
|
connect to SDF.
|
|
|
|
Also, note that wm.sdf.org runs imaps as well.
