Hi An example of UW-imapd/pine "integration":
When UW-imapd is invoked from a local shell: [tzafrir@yarden tzafrir]$ /usr/sbin/imapd * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] Pre-authenticated user tzafrir yarden IMAP4rev1 2001.315mdk at Sun, 17 Feb 2002 01:35:06 +0200 (IST) This means that I'm already authenticated as "tzafrir", and I don't have to login. This can be handy for people who already have shell access and normally authenticate using a ssh public key. Pine supports such access method to an imap server. I couldn't find any trace to that in the user interface and on-line help, but the .pinerc file does include ssh_command, which is documented there, and it is documented elsewhere that ssh authentication (as well as rsh authentication) is attempted before plain text authentication is attempted. Any other mailer supports this? Any other mail server? -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
