pubbox.net - Interesting Free IMAP/SMTP service
I recently found this free email service, which I can't find any mention of here.
http://pubbox.net/ I think it's probably someone's hobby project, and I can't comment on reliability, but it looks pretty good.
It's the spam filtering that makes it particularly interesting. It's using a custom two-stage Bayesian filter based on Bogofilter. Anything that gets through Bogofilter, and has image attachements is sent through OCR and is tested again by Bogofilter. It seems to be very effective. |
Very interesting service! I am testing it right now.

Yes, Interesting. Thanks for the link.
The trainable (via IMAP) spam filter is nice. Whois info on pubbox.net indicates it's fairly new: Record last updated on: 2006-10-21 15:53:50 Record expires on: 2007-10-04 11:46:26 edit: Sqwebmail is not Squirrelmail |
Imap seems to work well but I am unable to get smtp to work in Thunderbird. Anyone have any luck.
Pubbox recommends Sylheed Claws but I would rather set my hair on fire. The last time I tried this client it was terrible. |

My questions to support have been answered promptly, helpfully, and knowledgeably. The owner of the service appears to be a long-time computer professional with UNIX and systems security expertise.

Thanks nbarr.
Why didn't Pubbox make this plain in their introductory email? They have all this emphasis on security. I will wait a few days to see what happens but I need ssl smtp in my situation. |
I read this on his main page.

There aren't really any significant security implications. The SMTP authentication uses CRAM-MD5, so your password isn't visable, and SMTP is gong to be relayed onwards without SSL in any case.

Correction: port 26 didn't work. I was using a SMPT of another service...

IMAP works fine via SSL, but I have not been able to get SMTP to work via my Reqwireless client...
Any suggestions? |
