I know Claris Emailer supports it, and I thought Outlook Express did as well. And if you have users that don't have a supporting email client, you can use an application I wrote eons ago <http://www.mythtech.net/pwd.html> It is the first one on that page, PWDer. It is available for Mac or Windows. You can safely ignore the $5 registration fee, it is more of a "donation" than a fee (nothing changes in the application), and to date, I've had exactly one person bother sending me money for it. I actually wrote it originally for someone on this list, but that was a long time ago and I no longer remember who. >I am slowly planning my move from SIMS to a *nix mailserver.

Check out John Norstad's code for this <http://staff.at.northwestern.edu/jln/ftp/poppassd/poppassd.c.txt>. Looks like it is just a poppass deamon that runs on the mail server. It assumes the password files are accessable via the standard *nix passwd command and the connection will occur over port 106 using the poppass protocol. It is in C source code form, so you will have to compile it on your postfix machine to use it. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[email protected]>.
