Hi Ilja,
Since the "auth" command normally only returns what can be used to
authenticate, I cannot answer your question since I do not know what methods
dbmail-pop3d is able to authenticate against.
A new question though: does dbmail-pop3d support base64 authentication? It
seems that is what this code (from openwebmail/shares/pop3mail.pl which I
commented out) does:
<snip>
# try if server supports auth login(base64 encoding) first
print $remote_sock "auth login\r\n";
$_=<$remote_sock>;
if (/^\+/) {
print $remote_sock &encode_base64($pop3user);
$_=<$remote_sock>;
if (/^\-/) { # username error
close($remote_sock);
return(-13, "user name error");
}
print $remote_sock &encode_base64($pop3passwd);
$_=<$remote_sock>;
}
<snip>
After commenting out this, and a few other various things in that file, and
the authentication module file everything started working.
Shouldn't the pop3 daemon for dbmail be able to support this type of
authentication?

I've changed pop3 so it returns the sames things as qpopper now. I'm
only a bit confused if we can really return
X-NONE-SO-USE-APOP-OR-STLS
when we don't support TLS. We can probably also return
X-NONE-SO-USE-APOP
I guess?
Any ideas?
