Hi,
Using setup like this, we have ( for cost, cheap cheap etc) used not socks
but the Linux Firewall/ipfwadm with sendmail open on an external server (
ie outside the firewall) and allowed the clients to POP through the
firewall.
( Wait for it) I am not aware of any way for Mac/PC ( ie win 3.11) clients
to be hacked via port 110.
We of course put something behind the Linux Box, ( we always try for to
different boxes)
What is the level of your security requirements?
