In attempting to use Mail::POP3Client to access mail on an OpenBSD 3.2 system running popa3d, I have found that I get an error in my daemon log: "Authentication failed for UNKNOWN USER". I can connect to this pop server via telnet to 110 and issue the USER and PASS commands successfully. Running the pop server through a script in inetd.conf to pipe through tee - to capture my input and output to the pop server - I see that a successful connection yeilds one "^M" after each line - and my example perl script yeilds two control M's. Does anyone have a clue how I can either get around this - or perhaps recommend a different module to use with the popa3d? Thanks - weenie

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
