Most references were about Fetchmail and GMX. Same as what I saw unfortunately.

I'm guessing a proxy or load sharing system of some sort. >> Telnet is your friend :) >> # telnet server 143 >> > A01 LOGIN <user> <pass> >> [...] >> Hope that gives you some ideas :) > I already played around with telnet.

From there you should be able to do anything else too. The AUTH MD5-CRAM is just a method of setting up a handshake, and an 'encrypted' password/username. Where in fact the password (and username) is really hashed together with a key phrase issued by the server, and then an MD5 of the string is made and sent onto the server (simplistically anyway, I think there is a couple of other variables sneaked in too). But as I said, if you can issue the login command, and it says login was good, then the rest of the commands will work just fine. The AUTH MD5-CRAM is only for the login, none of the rest of the transactions. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt iQA/AwUBPfYdPSuD6BT4/R9zEQKaxQCeID00AGB2N+p9oXmgxPYvrj9AGiIAnjMh e4cnuix3jfW9tgonysPccGTY =qifm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
