Oh yeah: Thanks to some help with Exim configuration and a rather heinous line in my crontab to not try queue flushing unless the link is up, SMTP[Wiki], my mail checking (at least on my Flutterby based accounts) and my web browsing are now all SSH[Wiki] tunnelled from my laptop. Paranoid is no longer enough. I should still take the time to get TLS and X.509 certificates up and working for SMTP, but that'll probably involve switching the Flutterby server from Sendmail to Exim and that's a mess I'd rather not tackle right now.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
