Some password change plugins allow you to put these restrictions in
place. poppassd relies on the system itself to do this, which should
be sufficient. So it's not a SquirrelMail issue. Try using the
passwd command on the command line - change your password to some
simple dictionary word and if it lets you without complaining, then
you need to consult your system documentation to find out why it is so
poorly configured.
thanks for the reply.
I understand this is not squirrel's job to prevent users from entering easy
passwords.
As I could not find better password change service for qmail I modified
existing plugin.
