What's the status of syncing the po15 split mit.edu/mail.mit.edu config to
the other PO servers? I've been sending a lot of mail (including some that
I care about) to po15 instead of po12, and it works fine for me over
Kerberos 5 from alpine.
There are two minor issues that I've run into, but they aren't at all
blockers:
1. kchen reported on -c consult that there was a strange bounce from po15
for <geofft+Spamscreen@po15.MIT.EDU user@host.domain>, with error message
"Bobo with your canned meat?" (i.e., "Misformatted header in your spam").
I don't see anything misformatted other than this
<geofft+Spamscreen@po15.MIT.EDU user@host.domain> mess, though. The e-mail
Kevin received is in /mit/bitbucket/spambounce.txt. I'm kind of confused
as to what's going on.
2. po15 accepts unencrypted usernames and passwords for IMAP (the LOGIN
command), when the other POs don't. The other POs advertise the
LOGINDISABLED capability; see RFC 2595 section 3.2 if you're curious. We
earlier reported and resolved an issue with POP3 accepting unencrypted
usernames and passwords -- this is the same thing for IMAP.
