secure POP/SMTP support
 

Background
Most ISPs use POP as a way for their clients to read email from accross the internet. The POP protocol sends passwords in cleartext which can be sniffed by a third party. The protocol also has inherent features that make it insecure. We will not be using POP to read email.

We have opted to use Secure POP (pop3s) and Secure Mail Transfer (smtps). This allows a user to send and read email between the client and server machines and ensures that the entire transaction is encrypted. This is similar to online banking.

    If you need to download the email certificate and install it manually download it from the following link

Here is the setup for the various mailers

* Please Note, you may also need to reconfigure your firewall or DSL/Cable Router to allow the secure connections
