Good evening,

I've just installed qpopper and have built it with pop3 capability. I
have added an account like the manual said, popauth -user myuser and
have added a password. My inetd and popper and sendmail daemons are
running, then I try to telnet to my own server like so: telnet
ibsd.myip.org pop3 and once there, I issue these commands:

user myuser

But this gives me an error:

You must use stronger authentication such as AUTH SCRAM-MD5 or APOP to
connect to this server.

If I try to telnet to my server with the account that was created during
the build of qpopper, pop, then it does work, so simply using: USER pop
and then PASS password works.

What do I do about this not letting me to connect?

Please help.
