Hi all. I have a requirement where I need to pop accounts from a
qmail-ldap pop3 server. Problem is, I do not have the user's password.
I have the md5 encrypted userpassword and I would like to know if it
possible to do some sort of cleartext comparison.
I have -DCLEARTEXTPASSWORD enabled in the makefile and i have
controls/ldaprebind set to 0.

I am having no joy though and hoped that someone may be able to shed
some light on this;

# telnet 192.168.222.57 110
