Re: [cobalt-users] stop popper request for stronger authentication



The web interface is apparently designed to allow you to require
stronger authentication from your pop users, but you may never go
back. While I applaud the idea that we should make the world secure, I
regard this as a major bug. I don't know of any bug reporting
mechanism.

The fix is, to login into a shell and get to root. There is a popauth
database. I have to check this out further but the command

#popauth -delete user

gets them removed from the requirement for APOP or stronger. Clicking
a previously checked "SECURE POP3 (APOP)" seems to do nothing.
