I've been tailing my /var/log/maillog log watching pop logins and I had a quick question. The log shows the following:

-------------

mailserver vpopmail[12746]: vchkpw-pop3: (PLAIN) login success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:66.*.*.*

-------------

My question is, what does the PLAIN mean? Does that mean its sending the passwords in clear plain text?

As far as I know, yes. Unless you run POP3-SSL or TLS then it is unencrypted.
