One of the tasks I have been considering taking on is to adopt OTRS to function with POP3S (POP3 over SSL). If I get around to that, would you be interested in reviewing it for integration with OTRS?
Of course! .-)
PS: PostMasterPOP3.pl is using Net::POP3. If Net::POP3 would be ssl able, then it would be no problem.
Using TLS/SSL with POP3 is described in RFC 2595: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2595.html I don't think Net::POP3 is SSL/TLS capable, as it doesnt fulfill the above RFCs' requirements, but RFC 1939 only: http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet-1.17/Net/POP3.pm There is a Module on CPAN that is aware of using TLS/SSL with POP3, Mail::POP3Client, written by Sean Dowd, see http://search.cpan.org/~sdowd/Mail-POP3Client-2.15/POP3Client.pm for info. It requires nothing more than a standard Perl distrobution's modules. However, APOP needs need Digest::MD5 and CRAM-MD5 needs Digest::HMAC_MD5 and MIME::Base64 - we've got them anyway. Yes, to use it with TLS/SSL, you need at least IO::Socket::SSL - who'd have thought that? ;) hth, Robert Kehl -- ((otrs.de)) :: OTRS GmbH :: Norsk-Data-Str. 1 :: 61352 Bad Homburg http://www.otrs.de/ :: Tel. +49 (0)6172 4832388
