I hadn't considered using userdb for pop auth, I am just setting up another
mail server now and thought I would do it.
I have found pop3d/authlib patch at http://tertius.org/software/authpop/
Would this be the suggested patch to use?
Sorry if this is a little Qmail but I figured I've only ever used userdb for
SQWebmail and you guys would more likely know.
Thanks,
Sarton
