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?
Development and developer discussion takes now place on the
fetchmail-devel list hosted at BerliOS.de, see
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/fetchmail/ for details, or, for a
straight link to the list, see
https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/fetchmail-devel
The best bet is to check out the Subversion tree by typing:
mkdir fetchmail
cd fetchmail
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/fetchmail/trunk/
cd trunk
And create your patches on that tree with svn diff.
If we've updated, you'll just do svn up, or you can use "svn st -u" to
see what an update would fetch.
SVN is sufficiently similar to CVS that most people will get used to it
quickly, the manual is at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ and can be bought
as print edition, too.
I know too little about NTLM to make decent comments about its
implementation though.
