dovecot - Jul 2006 - Oops, forgot about apop...

How does one go about generating a local password database for apop
authentication?

	Or can it simply run against /etc/passwd, using a PAM entry?

	(I forgot to append this to my last message... sorry...).

	Thanks much.

No, APOP needs plaintext passwords to work.
