[hosers-announce] APOP now with real SSL flavor!

[Joel Uckelman <uckelman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since UW is planning to eliminate unencrypted POP3 access, I had to learn 
how to use POP3 over SSL, which made me curious about how difficult it 
would be to set up encrypted APOP on charybdis. As it turns out, not very 
hard at all. If you pull mail from charybdis (instead of reading it 
locally), you now also have the option of doing that over an SSL tunnel on 
port 995. I'm not sure if anyone else does this but me, but here's what to 
do to get it to work:

1. If you use fetchmail (Jeff?), add the 'ssl' keyword as a user option.
2. If you use Eudora or Outlook, follow the instructions here:

Keep in mind that if you want to continue using normal APOP, you can just 
ignore this.
