I have a small forewarding email server on my network and it worked well. I upgraded to 8.2 and now the pop3 server does not work. I made sure that it was turned on in the inetd.conf file. I even tried to use xined and got the same result. Here is the error message that Evolution gives me. Unable to connect to POP server 192.168.1.200 Error sending password -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command. Anyone have an idea to get this working??? I would like to continue to use imapd but it looks like the IMAP issues have hit the POP3 side too! :( -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, we just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
The problem is that you are using ipop3d switch to qpopper and it will go away. The newest version of UW imap and pop3 will not take plaintext passwords. At least in the rpm version in 8.2 you can still use UW software but you will have to recompile from source to use them I think. If anyone has gotten UW imap to accept plaintext passwords without recompiling let me know.

Nope, you can't. BUT! It's very easy to recompile the RPM... Just install the source RPM. Then go into /usr/src/packages/SPECS and change the imap.spec file so that the line: make lnp MYCFLAGS="$CFLAGS" SSLTYPE=nopwd so that it reads: make lnp MYCFLAGS="$CFLAGS" SSLTYPE=unix Then (this is all as root) just do a `rpm -bb imap.spec' and the RPM's will show up in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386. You might remove the existing imap-2002 package before installing the new one, but if something depends on that, on you don't want to fool with it, you'll be safe doing an `rpm -ivh --force imap-2002-45.rpm'. PLEASE NOTE: This package has already been patched. You will probably want to get the -45 package from an updates mirror, instead of using the -36 sources that came with the distro. ALSO NOTE: The imap-2002 package only prevents plaintext authentication under unencrypted sessions. If you configure your server to do imaps and smtps, you don't have to recompile! You will get passed through to the normal (via pam) password database. Otherwise, if you *still* want to use the packaged version, you can create a cram-md5 database, but I'll save the explanation on that unless someone wants to know.

Well, first, your email client must be able to do CRAM-MD5 passwords. I imagine yours does, but you'll probably have to specify the change. By default, the imap-2002 server is looking for a file /etc/cram-md5.pwd. All you need to do is put your usernames and passwords in this file like so: <username><tab><password> This is all in /usr/share/doc/packages/imap/md5.txt, but it might be a little overwhelming if you've never dealt with this before. Like that file says, the downside is that now you need to replicate your passwords in this file for everyone you want to give POP or IMAP access to.

I tried making this password file and squirrelmail told me that that cram-md5 was now available for use so I changed squirrellmail to use cram-md5 and tried to log in, and got this error.

Well, this sort of thing spirals out of control over email. The question I have for you is: Is your squirrelmail machine the same as your IMAP machine? If so, don't worry about encrypting your passwords; it's all local anyway, and your passwords aren't being seen on the network. When I look at the squirrelmail options, I don't see an option for doing CRAM-MD5 passwords to an IMAP server.

Cram-md5 setting in the config subdirectory in squirrelmail run conf.pl and then option 2 option A and then option 6 And it is the same machine but the imap server will not allow logins with the plain text password at all whether locally or not, I thought maybe if I got cram working I wouldn't have to recompile the server to accept plain text passwords.
