        Dear Dovecot experts, I have a small home server debian based, with postfix/dovecot/squirrelmail installed locally and working. Dovecot is used non-secured (no imaps) but only on the 192.168.0.100 address (address of the server on the local network). I want to use squirrelmail to read my email from outside. Squirrelmail can configured to access it in particular, either through cram-md5 or login auths. In that situation, is it better (I mean more secure) to use : 1) auth mechanim = cram-md5 or 2) auth mechanism = plain (using PAM authentication for dovecot) ? That will determine my dovecot configuration.
Thank you
Eric
