Thanks for your (and Tim's) help. Now it works, and after all the solution was quite simple. I'd still like to file a complaint, as I was unable to gather this from the documentation. I took the encoding of passwords by means of userdbpw as strictly optional -- even in hindsight, I can find no indication about it being imperative. > > Should pass not be sent as plaintext, but encoded/encrypted > > in any way? > The password should be sent plaintext by the client. I asked because I have a faded memory about some allegedly "plain" login that in fact turned out to be base-64 encoded. Must have been something else. cu, Schnobs ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
