Greetings,
the response from the operating system with regards to
change password has changed,
the response used to be
"rebuilding the database..."
now, it is
"updating the database..."
this causes the poppassd to think that the changing of password
has failed, because the response does not match any "success"
response it is looking for.
edit the .c code, modify "static char *P4[] =" (around line 178)
accordingly, and you are back in business.
Regards,
/calvin
