Did you try building the upstream with the makefile option SSLTYPE=unix ? I am doing it myself for the time being for the installation here, to get back the old behaviour. > It is documented in README.Debian how to enable it anyway, using a > method documented (but discouraged) by upstream. Hmm. If you refer to the Authentication section there, it redirects the reader to /usr/share/doc/libc-client2002edebian/md5.txt That one explains how to enable CRAM-MD5 SASL support. If I create the /etc/cram-md5.pwd as suggested there, I get an AUTH=CRAM-MD5 capability at the IMAP protocol prompt, but still with a LOGINDISABLED. > I dare close this as a non-bug. The upgrade has broken a working system, under a false pretext of security (where the original setup I had described is actually more secure than your typical self-signed-or-crippled-strength SSL), so please at least point me to an up-to-date document that explains how to cope with the problem. Mark it as a wontfix if you please, but this is a bug as it breaks things that worked in the previous version of the package. Or am I totally off the track and missing some obvious clue in the docs?
