Hi Aaron, I did a little hacking in the openwebmail/shares/pop3mail.pl file, as well as the openwebmail/auth/auth_pop3.pl file. I disabled the "auth login" method, and everything has started working.
My new question is why does dbmail only reply with a "." when I type "auth login"? It basically is saying that it supports me typing "auth login", but does not support any methods of authentication. At least that's what I gather from that response. Here is the telnet transcript: su-2.05b# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK DBMAIL pop3 server ready to rock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> auth login +OK List of supported mechanisms . auth +OK List of supported mechanisms . Below is what I would expect from a server that does not support this type of login method (ie qpopper): su-2.05b# telnet localhost 8110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK ready auth login -ERR Unknown authentication mechanism: login auth +OK Supported SASL mechanisms: X-NONE-SO-USE-APOP-OR-STLS . Is dbmail still rfc compliant even though there is this difference? Anyhow, I found the issue I was running into...it's working now. I'm happy as a pig in poop.
