Some time ago I posted on my personal weblog the details of setting up an SSL-protected POP3 server on OpenBSD. You can also find a Greek translation of the post as a small article on the BSD.gr web page. For those of you that don't know, BSD.gr is an effort to support and promote the use of free 4.4BSD-based systems among Greek users.

You can even get mysql, postgresql, or openldap support, as well as imaps if you want, just from installing the appropriate package.

Since popa3d is included in the base and we can be more confident of its security, why not use it instead of qpopper?
What is wrong with using stunnel and popa3d? Why is qpopper preferable?

My main reasons were support for STLS which wrapping openssl_* around popa3d won't give you and stability which akpop3d didn't give me on OpenBSD. Qpopper also supports alternate SSL toolkits if you're interested not cryptlib unfortunately.
Because I didn't trust popper I chrooted it using a statically built binary and libwrapped it.
Alex.
