I've got sPOP3 configured on my home system if you need help setting this up. Fetchmail works fine with sPOP3, not sure about other retreival clients though. Haven't needed to explicitly use the stunnel command to get it to work, although this may be happening transparently.

Retchmail also supports spop (and is much simpler and faster, but doesn't do multidrop or other things fetchmail gets wrong itself). APOP should be in the snapshots now. There is interest in someone updating fastforward to support SSLing a port forward. There's already SSL support in its stream library, so shouldn't be too hard. It's just that it's not been needed yet, so no-one's written it.

Fastforward is a fast port forwarder that tries not to waste more CPU or memory than absolutely necessary. It's with retchmail at http://open.nit.ca/ Maybe if you're not interested, someone in your LUG might be? Feel free to forward this request onwards. Thanks.
