poppassd experts,
I can connect by telneting to port 106 from the local host. However,
the error I get when using this method is "400 Server busy -- try again
later". So I am now thinking that there is some issue with it reading
passwords from Fedora 3. I believe Fedora uses shadow passwords so I
compiled popppassd with the special_auth option. Regardless, I can't
change a password. I might end up moving to a php script if I can't get
this to work soon. Any suggestions are very much welcome!

No, he pointed out this is intentional, because it is only supposed to
allow connections from the webmail software running on the same box.
If there *is* any problem relating to this, it might be that the
webmail software is connecting to a public IP address instead of
localhost.
