I see that I have been spoiled by Eudora and a server that supports
the poppassd protocol allowing a user to change their passwords via
their client?
I just assumed that all e-mail clients could do this since Eudora
could, and SIMS can. I since found that a) the protocol was basically
invented at Qualcomm, and that b) few (none?) other pop clients
support it.
I guess that ISPs generally have web-based tools (aka scripts) that
interface to their mail servers so that users can log-on and change
to a desired password?
My problem actually involves an EIMS server on OS9. The only way a
user's password can be changed is a) I do it and therefore know the
password or b) the user does it with Eudora.
I am slowly planning my move from SIMS to a *nix mailserver. How is
something like this supported in postfix, for example? Are there
mailservers that do this without poppassd or have particularly
elegant tools for users to change their own passwords?
