Marcel,

This may not be the answer you are looking for, but consider using smtp
authentication with cyrus-sasl or similar software.

I have been using pop-before-smtp with MS and postfix for over 6 months
now.  Pop-before-smtp has given me so many problems that I have been
forced to dump it.  The perl and C versions randomly crash for me after a
few hours.

Cyrus-SASL is a great solution, and is much more secure, especially if
you have remote users.

 Hi there,

maybe someone on this list could help me, as the ml of pop-before-smtp
seems not work at all ;)

Heard of dovecot on this ml and saw that this would be a pop3/imap-daemon,
which could help me a lot..

so i tried the pop-before-smtp-programm, as stated on the website..and
managed to get it working..

now my problem is the following..

it seems that my berkley db and the Module DB_File are way uptodate (yes,
that could happen ;) as they produce a db-file with version 8..but i do
need version 7.

access.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order)
popauth.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order)


due to the fact that the file popauth.db is not really version 7, sendmail
is not able to read and use it..

So..maybe some of the geeks in here could help? :)

Greetings

Marcel
