Request for Tutorial: Using SSHKeyChain
Richard wrote about securing his email with SSHKeyChain in the context of pointing to Kees Cook's discovery of 45 clear auth POP accounts at OSCON.
I actually ran SSHKeyChain before my upgrade to Mac OS X Tiger, but never re-installed. It worked most of the time, but not all the time. To be honest, the whole process is somewhat hard. Richard (or anyone), I'm making a Request for Tutorial (RFT): please document both the requirements (what do I need in a mail server to support this?) and the steps involved in secure email.


This still shows up in my referrers, (I'm now redirecting undeniablygeeky.com to my personal blog, and have started porting content over), and I still have to write the docs. Except I don't use POP or IMAP email anymore. Back to the web for me using Gmail. Mark Pilgrim's script to redirect Gmail requests to the https:// version keeps email secure for me.
