Another possibility:

It will also use S/key if that is installed first and if you have /etc/skey.access a permit can be added, but I like using it for mail, even if it is a slight hassle.

If you have skey you can test it by copying the line for another account in /etc/skeykeys to the user you are trying:

telnet foo.com 110
Trying <foo.com's IP>...
Connected to foo.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 2.41beta1) at foo.com starting.  <7938.888144351@foo.com>
user testy
+OK s/key 9876 fo12345 (required)
quit
+OK Pop server at foo.com signing off.
Connection closed by foreign host.


You might want to upgrade too.
