Ok, this isn't working, I'm getting auth failed when testing either with
telnet or doing it in Thunderbird.

I tried both using the htpasswd method for generating the password in
the passwd file, and when  that failed, I also tried just putting the
password in the file in plain text...

So... what am I missing/doing wrong?

Thanks,

Charles
