There is an authentification method called APOP that uses a "simple"
diggest (using md5sum) that I found very useful, qpopper saves the
passwords used with APOP authentification in another file (so you also can
have different passwords)
The only problem is that some clients doesn't support it (eg: netscape),
Eudora light supports it
