The password needs to be encrypted in the userdb file. The usual way to do it is like this: userdbpw | userdb username pop3schnobs set pop3pw This will prompt you for a password (twice) and then enter the password in the userdb for you. You will still need to run 'makeuserdb' after you get everything set. > Should user be more, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or even [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Should pass not be sent as plaintext, but encoded/encrypted > in any way? The user should be whatever it is in the userdb. In your case, it should be 'pop3schnobs'. If your userdb said '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', then that's what you would use. The password should be sent plaintext by the client.
