Hello -
It seems that you have a modified copy of the UW imap toolkit. The
command
make -DWITH_SSH_AND_PLAINTEXT PASSWDTYPE=std IP=6
is not used with the unmodified UW distribution.
In particular, I do not know what -DWITH_SSH_AND_PLAINTEXT does, since
that is not a configuration parameter in the version that I wrote.
You can obtain an unmodified copy of UW IMAP from:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
The correct build for FreeBSD in unmodified UW IMAP is:
make bsf
You reported that you are getting a "Login disabled" syslog.
"Login disabled" means that an attempt was made to use a plaintext
authentication mechanism (LOGIN, AUTHENTICATE PLAIN, AUTHENTICATE LOGIN)
in a session that is not protected by SSL or TLS encryption. This is in
compliance with RFC 3501 sections 6.1.1, 6.2.3, 7.2.1, and 11.2.
To avoid this, you must install SSL/TLS certificates (as described in the
imap-2004g/docs/SSLBUILD file) and use a client capable of SSL or TLS.
Alternatively, you must disable unsecured plaintext prohibition with
SSLTYPE=none or SSLTYPE=unix (but note that doing so exposes passwords to
being stolen by hackers).
