password authentication using TPOP2000 only uses 8 characters?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #785 of 798 |
Hello,

I have put together a simple program that logs into a mail server
using POP3, grabs emails, and parses them for keywords. I'm having
some difficulty using passwords to login to the mail server when they
are not at least eight characters in length. It seems that I can only
authenticate to email accounts on the server that have at least eight
characters. In fact, I've found that only the first eight characters
need to be correct. After the initial eight, I can type gobbledy-gook
and I still get access. If a password has less than eight characters,
I cannot gain access to the account at all. I can log into these
accounts correctly using Microsoft Outlook, but the TSocketTalk.Talk()
command is exhibiting this strange behavior. Does anyone have any
insight into how to get the TPOP2000 class to use passwords correctly
when logging into a mail server?

RAD ENVIRONMENT: Delphi 7
TPOP2000 VERSION: 1.10.1

Thanks,
-Dan
