POP3-Server recommendation

2005-06-23 Thread Christopher Taylor

Hello List,

since the upgrade to sarge, UW-pop3d won't allow Plain-text logins over 
a non-SSL connection anymore. I've tracked this down to a change in 
libc-client (which I think is sensible).


unfortunately, though, some of my users need this functionality, so I'll 
have to swich the server. What I'm looking for is basically a drop-in 
replacement, i.e. a POP3-server that uses system accounts, 
/var/mail/user and doesn't need to be configured a lot.


teapop, popa3d and mailutils-pop3d seem quite promising in this respect, 
what are your experiences?


BTW, performance isn't too much of an issue, it's quite a big box and 
only few users.


thanks,
  --Chris

You can re-enable plaintext logins if you really want:

thanks for the pointer!


Unfortunately, this is only half-way documented in
/usr/share/doc/libc-client2002edebian/README.Debian, see #266689.
I agree, the I accept... line should be documented at least in 
README.Debian. A nice big debconf-warning on upgrade would have been 
nice, too ;)

 I want to be able to set public IP's for computers in LAN. Is any
 other solution ? I dont know about it - if you so - please let me know
 :)
either try explicit routing for the official ips, as was suggested, or
give the server another nic, so you can create a proper dmz.

what's wrong with making the program suid-to-some-other-user (not root) 
and then just executing it? I reallize this doesn't work for ping, which 
is suid-to-root anyway.
