OK. Try to issue USER <your-username>.

Think of, e.g., @gmail.com, which requires secure (TLS) connection, and SSL libraries are out of busybox scope. Think of various POP3 flavors which require or not some authentication. To hide these peculiarities, we introduce connection helpers (the same considerations apply to sendmail). Once the helper established the connection, popmaildir (sendmail) just issues commands to stdout, and reads responses from stdin, as if no network involved. -- Vladimir _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
