Yes, I remember but you mentioned tor and proxy. I don't know these
things. Maybe I can put them together, I'm not sure.

I wonder generaly if binkp over SSL/TLS would be good thing or if the
current way binkp works is good enough. Binkd and BinkIT (and possibly
others) support the CRYPT option. Is that enough?

If you'd like to test this out I'd be willing. I don't know what you mean
by TLS proxy so I'd need to be educated about these things before any
meaningful tests could be done.. :)

 Ol> If you want to test it (TLS or Tor) we can discuss it in FSX_CRY and/or
 Ol> BINKD. Just start a thread there, I read both areas.

I don't mind testing either, but as I say I don't know either so you
would need to bring me up to speed.

I'd be most interested in something that can be used with the binkp
protocol (if that's desirable) in all it's various uses with binkd,
BinkIT and other mailers that would/could use it.

I'll catch you somewhere..
