Hey there, I'm running Qpopper v4 on FreeBSD 4 with a trivial patch that
dumps the POP login info to my message log. I have a user that's trying
to get his mail through an MSN dial-up, using Qualcomm Eudora (version 5,
I believe). He's set up correctly, and has been connecting fine for the
last week or so. Today he can't receive any e-mail, and I'm getting the
following information in my error log:

The second message (unknown authentication mechanism: MSN) is what is
throwing me. Eudora should authenticate using the username/password, and
MSN's proprietary software shouldn't be involved. Any ideas as to what
could be wrong (or causing this message)?
Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated
