Outlook as the IMAP client, but this was usefull enough and I think that
I will convert my Mail server to use DBmail as it seems to be a good
server.

Emne: RE: [Dbmail] Encrypted passwords


Hello,

  I'm a little unclear on what you mean by not being able
to use MS Outlook.  Basically in dbmail you just need the
encryption_type and the password to be set in order to save
a plain-text password.  Eg. if you have "crypt" as the
encryption_type, then the passwd field should be a 13 char
encrypted password (or can be a 34 char md5 password if your
system's crypt() supports them, though you'd typically set
encryption_type to "md5" for that).  MS Outlook sends the
plain-text password to the server, which hashes it and compares
with the value in the db.  The only issue is APOP, which
requires a plaintext password on the server, because the
client uses it to create a hash (which is sent over the wire
instead of the password), so both server and client need to
have the same plaintext pw.

Hope that helps,
Jesse
