So far, so good. The paragraph continues
With “legacy”, or if there is no credentials entry, the
username is the first of:
...
The password for SMTP services is the first of:
...
The password for POP service when the -sasl switch is used
with one of these programs is the login name on the local
machine.
So won't that last paragraph bite Norm?
I've re-read that last paragraph ... and I realize that I do not understand
it. I think a normal .netrc should work fine (Valdis indicates that it
works for him).
