Subject: imapd security question

Hello,

We have an AIX 4.1.5 UNIX system with Pine version 3.91.  Some of our
users would like to use PC Pine when accessing our system remotely. 
For this we would need to install imapd on our server.  At first glance imapd
seems secure enough in that it will disconnect after 3 consecutive bad login 
attempts.  Are there anyother security implications involved in installing 
imapd?

Please respond directly to me by e-mail.  Thanks!

The version of imapd distributed with Pine 3.91 is quite old.  There are
known bugs in that version.

You should use the latest imapd:
