I was able to capture with just a few slight adjustments... captured successful login via 'telnet localhost 143' # tcpdump -w /tmp/imp-imap.good -i lo -s 0 'port imap' captured unsuccessful login via 'imp' at the moment the 'admin' tried to do it's thing # tcpdump -w /tmp/imp-imap.tcpdump -i lo -s 0 'port imap' and then 'tethereal -r /tmp/imp-imap.[tcpdump|good] showed me the difference...turns out - even though IMP is configured to send imap/notls, admin login is encrypted. My problem indeed is with imp Thanks Craig --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
