I recently received a request to allow plaintext passwords in unencrypted connections if the connection is localhost, even if plaintext passwords are otherwise forbidden in unencrypted connections.
I see no reason not to do this in UW imapd (and make a user very happy), but before I do it I'd like to get a sanity check from the community -- is there any reason why this might be a bad idea? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- For information about this mailing list, and its archives, see: http://www.washington.edu/imap/imap-list.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
