Hello, After reading some doc pages about stunnel I have still some questions: 1.) I read that the client part of a pop3 connection (e.g. for GoogleMail) is like stunnel -c -d pop3 -r bar:pop3s However I did not found any explations of the flags -d, -d and -r When I type stunnel -help none of these flags are explained. 2.) Can I replace pop3 and pop3s in the command above by real port numbers? 3.) Is stunnel compatible with SSH servers ? In other words: can stunnel on the local machine communicate with a SSH server on the remote computer and vice versa? 4.) Is there a timeout function? Read: When I start stunnel I would like to exit the service after lets say 5 minutes automatically. Is there such a feature/option? 5.) Has someone experiences with googlemail pop3 retrieval of emails? Is the following stunnel command recommendable for googlemail.com? stunnel -c -d pop3 -r pop.googlemail.com:pop3 Thank you in advance for the answer Thomas -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
