Hi John,
Let me understand this correctly.
You're saying IMAPS will work with a setting such as below??
auth default {
mechanisms = digest-md5
passdb pam {
args = *
}
userdb passwd {
args = /etc/master.passwd
}
If yes, then I am inclined to ask why POP3S would not work with the
same.
Sorry, questions still dumb ;)
