This old bug is about post ignoring a login name in .netrc: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?23168
I had closed it, but I really think that it should be fixed. The current behavior is to determine the user using the first of: 1) -user switch 2) local login name I'd like to change the behavior to: 1) -user switch 2) matching host entry with "login" in a .netrc 3) interactively request name from user That would affect those who rely on the local login name. I don't expect that's very useful these days, especially with -sasl. If someone needs that and we go with the fix, they'd have to add -user switch(es) or add a "login" to their .netrc. One unfortunate result of this change would be that a "default" entry in the .netrc would kick in before 3). But I don't see that as being worse than using the local login name. Also, with inc and msgchk -sasl, the password is set to the login name. Does anyone use that?
