Description Maurits Lamers 2005-09-05 04:27:25 UTC

SMTP-Authentication always succeeds, even when the password given is not correct and as long as the 
password is not empty. It does not matter if the user name used for authentication is a valid user for 
the virtual domains.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a qmail/vpopmail server using the gentoo qmail/vpopmail guide (http://www.gentoo.org/
doc/en/qmail-howto.xml). 
2. Try to send a message using fake authentication.
3. 

Actual Results:  
Mail sends normally

Expected Results:  
Mail should be refused due to false authentication...

Running on Gentoo 2005.0, qmail-1.03-r13, vpopmail-5.4.6-r1, server set up using the qmail/
vpopmail guide.

I checked all configuration at least 5 times already, unable to find anything wrong.

Sorry, the error was a result of a typing error in the configuration file conf-smtp...
