[fetchmail] Authentication

2003-03-11 10:28:31
Hello,

        I am having problems with fetchmail authentication.  The only why I can 
get
fetchmail to recieve mail from my mailserver, is if I included a  "auth
password" in the config.  I do not like sending my password in the clear
like this, but can't figure out how to fix it.  For some reason, the man
pages speek greek to me.  Can someone please point me to some howto's or
give me a pointer.

Here is a capability list from my mailserver.

Thanks much.
