Hi,
Does anybody here use APOP? I'd tried but authentication fails all the
time. I put the password in plaintext in my fetchmailrc:
poll pop.netlight.de protocol apop user user1 pass test
fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying pop.netlight.de (protocol APOP) at Thu, 18
Apr 2002 21:25:38 +0200 (CEST): poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK
<1ee9468d63a136c4da793bb5db69a431(_at_)pop(_dot_)netlight(_dot_)de>
fetchmail: POP3> APOP user1 9da10ec15df4b2607ba4e5e701f4955c
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR Authentication failed.
fetchmail: Authentication failed.
But the md5-hash should be 965fd94b9eade573bb4b5e61392a5397 (md5 of
"<1ee9468d63a136c4da793bb5db69a431(_at_)pop(_dot_)netlight(_dot_)de>test"). Is
this a bug
in fetchmail or do I have to specify my password in another way in
fetchmailrc?
btw, wouldn't it be better to always try apop if the server supports it?
(with fallback to plaintext pop3-auth of course)
Bye, Jakob
