I set up my system using the Vanemery.com qpopper page as a guide.
I'm not familiar with that. If you have suggestions for changes to
the Qpopper FAQ or the Administrators Guide, please send them in.
Sending a patch is always welcome.
I had originally put all my users into the APOP db, but that
confused Qpopper when a PC user on OE tried to connect. So I
deleted the PC users from the APOP db (leaving the Mac users in,
since both Eudora and Mail.app do APOP), and that left me with a
PAM error ("pam_authenticate returned 9").
The default setting for 'clear-text-password' rejects attempts to log
in with username/password if the user exists in the APOP database.
Looking at the code, setting 'clear-text-password' to 'TLS' also does
this, but I'm thinking this may be a bug. Specifically, the code at
pop_user.c line (line 256 in qpopper4.0.9) should check for other
values as well.
