I don't know of any that don't, to be honest (that support SSL). I use eudora on my palm, that works well, and whatever mail client mac monkeys use these days - that works, too. infact, i've not heard of any with problems, except OE/Outlook really. > Whilst we'll probably go SMTP Auth in the longer term, I'm fairy sure > Theo mentioned authorising people by Certificates for sending SMTP.

Did I miss something? I wasn't talking about end users, but about ISP to ISP mail for verification. End users are on our network, and fully traceable. although, i can see no reason why you can't use client certificates for sending mail, in windows, this should be handled directly by windows, and at in KDE by using the cetificate manager in kcontrol. never tried it though, but see no reason why it wont! ~ Theo - -- Theo Zourzouvillys <theo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <http://theo.me.uk/> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/tEBW448CrwpTn6YRAq/QAKDsA6kUkroMIVSIAZOLkRf2eJfy4QCgxgUr bfPwpEKqouLQ8U/mTytzk0Q= =GlXf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
