problems with imapd and pop3

[Shawn Walker]

i have been using your module for a while now. it worked fine until recently. it won't authenticate via imap or pop3. i can ssh and ftp fine.

Jul 24 02:20:37 megatron ipop3d[29630]: pop3 service init from 24.93.213.188

what happens if you manually try to log in?  Replace the username & password below of course:

telnet localhost 110
user cinergi
pass cinergi

i figured it out. it was default UW configuration. i had to compile it to allow plaintext passwds.

for anybody who gets that error i got, recompile your UW with

make lnp SSLTYPE=none
