Enable Cleartext login over POP3.

[joelserrano]

Hi everybody, I'm still quite new with Zimbra (Open-Source edition).

I'm trying to enable cleartext login for POP3.

I've changed the zimbraPop3CleartextLoginEnabled to TRUE, and restarted with zmcontrol stop/start.

zimbra@zcs:~$ zmprov gacf | grep -i Pop3Cleartext 
zimbraPop3CleartextLoginEnabled: TRUE
zimbra@zcs:~$

So far OK, but when I test it on port 110 (Proxy):

zimbra@zcs:~$ telnet 127.0.0.1 110 
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 ready
user test@domain.com
-ERR cleartext logins disabled

If I try on port 7110 (Pop3):

zimbra@zcs:~$ telnet 127.0.0.1 7110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK zcs.vozelia.com Zimbra POP3 server ready
user test@domain.com
+OK hello test@domain.com, please enter your password
pass 123456
+OK server ready
quit
+OK zcs.vozelia.com closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
zimbra@zcs:~$

What do I have to change to enable the cleartext login over the Pop3 Proxy?

If that isn't possible, just swaping the settings of zimbraPop3BindPort and zimbraPop3ProxyBindPort would be enough?

zimbra@zcs:~$ zmprov gacf | grep -e 110 -e 7110  
zimbraPop3BindPort: 7110
zimbraPop3ProxyBindPort: 110
zimbra@zcs:~$

If I need to post extra information please let me know, as I said above, I'm new in the forum.

Just in case:

zimbra@zcs:~$ zmcontrol -v
Release 6.0.5_GA_2213.DEBIAN5_64 DEBIAN5_64 FOSS edition.
zimbra@zcs:~$

Thanks in advanced.

Joel.

You really shouldn't be running any mail server with cleartext login enabled, it's a security risk. You should get your user onto IMAP, they'll find it a better experience. Is this a single server installation? If it is, why are you running the proxy on the server? If it's not, what is your configuration?

Please update your forum profile with the output of the following command (do not post it in this thread):

zmcontrol -v
