I set up dovecot and all is well, but before I decide that maybe I will
set something up outside of my network, are all passwords secure?
should I only use new created users with no special permissions? I set
up dovecot.conf with
auth = default
and in default {
}
the default value is md5-digest
but when I try to select that option with evolution I get this:
"unable to connect to POP server $Server_Name: no support for requested
authentication mechanism"
and it will only work on evolution if I pick "password" for
authentication. Just wondering, I guess if this sends passwords in
plain text.
