What comes next? Chinese symbols?! Jeez ascii is more than you need. And how can you recommend using special chars for passwords?! We dont talk about !$%& and such we do talk about äöüß. I wouldnt fix this if I would be responsible for the source. Its not necessary. Just tell them they have to use ascii. Tell them casesensitve alphanumeric passwords with at least 8 chars and their password is safe. (aslong you log failed logon attempts and readin logs every day as a good admin would)
Yes, im also against special chars in domains... that battle was lost. But there is no need for special chars in passwords.

Hello, well, I just tried it and confirm this happens with v.2.2.8 (set everything to UTF8), for POP and IMAP login. on POP this happens: +OK DBMAIL pop3 server ready to rock user XXX +OK Password required for XXX pass äqwert1 -ERR your command does not compute quit +OK see ya later on IMAP: * OK dbmail imap (protocol version 4r1) server 2.2 ready to run ? login XXX äqwert1 ? NO login rejected so well, it would be nice if that could be fixed. Kind regards, Daniel Robert Claeson schrieb: > > On 25 Jan 2008, at 13:08, Michael Monnerie wrote: > >> On Freitag, 25.
