Package: cyrus-clients-2.2 Version: 2.2.13-19 Severity: normal Some POP3 servers simply don't support CAPA and complain with "-ERR" if it's attempted. Other servers insist upon authentication first (how that's supposed to happen if you don't know what authentication methods are available, I don't know). pop3test doesn't handle this gracefully and just gives up, even if -m user is passed on the command line. pop3test should handle this gracefully and try USER/PASS or APOP instead, or whatever method was specified with -m.
