Hi,
I've decided to go with a plain jane clear field. We do it at work and it
goes fine (although we use mssql [gag]). So I think I should be safe. As far
as that md5 stuff, I was talking like on the backend. Sort of like encrypt
it once it gets here. When I looked at CRAM (Challenge/Response Auth
Method), I realized "Oh yeah, that's a protocol deal, not backend."
Clear would work for me, if I were to do md5 in the database, I'd have to
get courier-imap (more specifically authmysql) to work with it.
Right now I have my computer set up to grab imap email from my old server
and my new one. The old one running wu-imapd. The funny thing is that
courier runs really fast with all my messages in that, but wu-imap (with no
messages) runs like a dog. Same sync settings too :)
Funny eh?
Thanks everyone, especially the exim-dev team, for the help...
Later,
James Harr
