Hi Jose,

If you only needed clear text passwords for testing with telnet then
there is another solution.

If AUTH PLAIN is enabled then the password must be passed as a mime
encoded string. You can use perl to generate the mime encoded logon
string for the  password and logon.

Here is the command:

perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print
encode_base64("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")'

It will generate something that looks like this:

   ADBldGZyQRHmbS5vcmeucmEAWHNXZW03MQ==

When prompted for athentication paste the generated string and hit enter.

Note that this contains both the user id and password. Also note the \
before the @ if you are using the full domain name for the UID to
prevent perl from seeing the @ as a command.

Regards
Peter

In QLDAPINSTALL file that explain you how to configure Qmail LDAP you
can read:

-DCLEARTEXTPASSWD (for cleartext passwords in ldap, bad idea)

So, add this flag for your compilation and it should work. Please, read
carefully installation instructions before ask.
