Hi there
To start off... I did find the section in the FAQ about this. But
it either does not apply to or (and this is likely) I don't
understand what it says. I wich case I appoligize.....
For another problem I installed ethereal and found out that my
password and account name is send in clear text to a IMAP server.
When I use the mozilla client I do not see the password.
I'm using a Slackware 8.1 on which I allready upgraded the
fetchmail package to a version 5.9.13 (and added NTLM)
The output on fetchmail -V is:
=====================================================
bash-2.05a# fetchmail -V
This is fetchmail release 5.9.13+NTLM+SSL+NLS
Fallback MDA: (none)
Linux sysop-2 2.4.18 #4 Fri May 31 01:25:31 PDT 2002 i686 unknown
Taking options from command line and /root/.fetchmailrc
Idfile is /root/.fetchids
Progress messages will be logged via syslog
