Comrades,

I'm bugged by qpopper.  I've compiled it, and installed the recent 3.1 beta
RPM (from rpmfind.net) for RedHat 6.2.  The server responds nicely using
user/pass authentication, but won't do APOP.

Examining the debugging logs ("-t" cmd line flag) reveals that when Outlook
2000 says "AUTH" qpopper responds "+OK Following are Support SASL
mechanisms".  Problem is, it doesn't provide such a list.  Outlook gets so
frustrated by qpoppers obvious duplicity in this matter that the next thing
it says is "QUIT".  In Outlook, I have the "Use secure password
authentication" box checked.  If I uncheck that, and blow away
/etc/pop.auth, I get all my mail.

Any suggestions would be warmly and greatfully received.
