I have upgraded my mail server to SuSE 9.2 and sendmail as provided in SuSE's disks. The problem is my users can no longer pop their email, since kmail responds with a "Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command" error. Trying to add a ssl certificate also results in an error. Mail is leaving to its intended destination, so SMTP is working, and local mail is handled correctly. I think it has to do with plain text passwords no longer beeing allowed. Telnet to myserver.com port 110,
You would need to start pop3s in xinetd, and use port 995. It is because plain text passwords are only allowed via a ssl encrypted session. You can read for more by searching for imaps at the portal or checking out the imap source
and issuing user username yields:
-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command
I have searched the archives, and although this problem has been reported, I could not find a definitive answer. Can somebody point to reading that would solve this problem?
If you already have generated an ssl certificate ipop3d.pem, and started pop3s in xinetd, and use 995, it should work just fine. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
