[fetchmail-devel] NTLM/POP3 authentication

[Anuradha R. <ARa...@vi...>]

(This was first posted to fetchmail-friends list.)

Hi all,

I was trying to authenticate against a POP3 server (running Exchange or
whatever they call it ;-)) using NTLM using `--auth ntlm' and it failed.
And it turned out that fetchmail sends the string `AUTH MSN' instead of
`AUTH NTLM'.  However, changing this didn't help.  There seems to be
other small differences.

I am now trying to implement NTLM/POP3 authentication as explained in

    http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html

What would be the best way of doing this?  I am thinking of renaming the
present `NTLM' authentation to something else (say `--auth msn').  Any
suggessions?
