I've got SquirrelMail running on a Celeron 400 at home. I'm using SM to help teach myself more about web applications and had a question regarding failed logins.
It seems that when you try to log in with incorrect credentials, SM takes 5 seconds or so to return an error. This is a good thing, it slows down anyone trying to brute force their way. In looking at the code, I am not able to find anywhere that clearly adds this delay so I'm not sure if it's a timeout someplace, processing delay, or in fact something that was deliberately added in. Any insight? If the delay is deliberate and you could name the specific PHP file and function that it's in it would help me out a lot.
