As long as your going that far... Why not just set up a VPN? FreeSWAN/PoPToP would be really cool. Windoze --> Firewall w/ FreeSWAN --> Mail Server ( linux of course w/ FreeSWAN ) Should be incredibly secure. : ) Or.... Windoze w/ Free PPTP client --> Mail server w/ PoPToP ( also linux ) All this of course depends on wether you control your own mail server. :-) sim Brian wrote: > > > > do you know how to make it work under Winblows? > > In the ideal environment, your Win boxen are not directly > connected to the internet.
