If you want to use SOCKS, you could try using SocksCap, which is
available from the the SOCKS web server (I'm offline at the moment,
and can't remember the URL offhand). Assuming you've got PC clients,
it'll socksify an arbitrary Winsock application, and has worked with
everything I've tried it with (haven't tried Eudora admittedly, but
I've used it with Pegasus successfully for POP). The Win 3.xx version
is an all-or-nothing in that it will socksify *any* winsock app, but
the 32 bit version will allow individual apps to be socksified.
