Subject: Re: pop3 and Maildir
Well, the pam authentication only allows for cleartext
or mysqls password() format, and also it dont allow for
telling the server where to find the mailbox and what uid/gid to use.
I've tried it, and basically it dont fill the needs I have, it would need to
fill the 'account' role also.
