Hmmm...
I'm trying to run the patch from Krzysztof Dabrowski, along with his
MD5 password utility. Are you guys both running Mrs. Brisby's patch?
Most importantly for me, is anyone successfully using CRAM-MD5
SMTP-AUTH with vpopmail? Eudora doesn't do LOGIN or PLAIN & I'll
start using Lookout when M$ starts designing for simplicity &
security.

I've been running the new qmail-smtpd as user vpopmail. All of my
domains are virtual, I don't like the idea of shell passwords being
sent in the clear.
