Re: Saturday, July 5, 2003
I've found that if I can set up ssh connectivity, that's my preferred solution for emailing from crummy "Internet Lounges". Set up two tunnels, one for pop and one for smtp and I'm golden. The email client on my laptop is configured to talk to localhost. Here's the invocation: #!/bin/sh ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -C -f -N -L 2500:betternerds.com:25 betternerds.com ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -C -f -N -L 1100:betternerds.com:110 betternerds.com where you'd replace betternerds.com with the name of your email server(s). Then you just set up your email client to send mail via localhost:2500 and receive via localhost:1100 and you're good to go. Different ports apply for IMAP, natch. If I can't maintain an ssh connection, the connection is too flaky to trust my email to anyhow, and it's time to move on. Hope this helps, -DaveP There are responses to this message:
