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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
