Good morning,

Something seems to have changed with either poppassd, or the way it
interacts with 4.6-stable.  After upgrading a machine from 3.5.1, the same
scripts I have been using for changing client passwords no longer work.
Or rather they do, but the response from poppassd is saying it doesn't.

At this point I have changed 500 error checking to exclude "Unable to...",
which seems to work. I have include a successful and unsuccessful exchange
for comparison.  I can't quite understand why the passwords are changed
when the response definitely says they are not?

Successful exchange
--------------------
200 poppassd v1.2 hello, who are you?
got HELLO
200 your password please.
sent USER
200 your new password please.
sent PASS
500 Unable to change password.
sent NEWPASS
* NO RESPONSE *
send QUIT

Unsuccessful exchange
----------------------
200 poppassd v1.2 hello, who are you?
got HELLO
200 your password please.
sent USER
500 Old password is incorrect.
sent PASS
* NO RESPONSE *
sent NEWPASS
* NO RESPONSE *
send QUIT

BTW, system logs say the attemt is failing also,
Jul 29 01:29:45 stealth poppassd[26602]: failed attempt by onsite
