Re: [PLUG] OT: Comparing POP3 and IMAP

[Noah silva <nsilva@atari-source.com>]

While we're on the subject of SSL,
I should point out that when I mentioned that I used telnet at the PLUG
meeting, several people gasped.  I explained why I used Telnet instead of
SSH (SSH port not available, and needed telnet on the server for other
reasons), but I didn't mention that the telnet is actually Telnet-SSL
capable.  When you connect to the daemon, it negotiates between the client
and server, and if they both support ssl, they use it, otherwise, they
work fine in non-SSL mode.  I wish other services worked like this!
