I am finishing up getting SSL/IMAP working on our mail server and I notice the Use secure authentication box....very little I can find out about it, except that everyone says NOT to use it and maybe it's only for POP, not IMAP. Can you confirm?...googled you on this. Also, isn't authentication secure with SSL/IMAP anyway????? -- ===Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean at bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

See authentication mechanisms in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication> Also, isn't authentication secure with SSL/IMAP anyway?????Yep. It's more or less useless with SSL. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
