[comp.protocols.kerberos] POP3 with Kerberos

ault@rpi.edu (Jim Ault) (06/24/91)

I have heard through the grapevine that MIT has integrated Kerberos
authentication into the Post Office Protocol (POP3).  I suspect that
MIT uses the MH package, and that this is the package into which they
have integrated Kerberos.  I have asked about this once before (months
ago) on the MH list, and now I am asking again.

If MIT has Kerberized (MH) POP, is it available?
Where can I get the source?

If I am mistaken, could someone from MIT please clarify?

Project Athena uses a Kerberized POP3 in a number of
clients; MH, XMH, Gnuemacs RMAIL, and the Andrew mail
reader.

A server based on the Berkeley "popper" with Kerberos
support added can be obtained from net-dist.mit.edu
(18.72.0.3) in /pub/Berkeley-Popper.  Pard of the README
file from that directory follows:

>popper-1.7k is a modified version of popper for Kerberos among other
>things. See README.mit in the tar file for details.
