      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: UTF-8 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20161221       MSGID: 2:280/464 5e9ee003       Hi All,              I was wondering about packet passwords, are they case insensitive or not?              FMail has always forced them to uppercase on entry in the configuration, and       does a case insensitive compare on the password contained in arrived packet       files.              fts-0001.016 just says this about the password:               password (some impls)        eight bytes        null padded              "bytes": So it could be anything, including "high ascii".              When I look at the packets I receive, there are some with lower or even mixed       case passwords.       (So it's a good thing FMail does a case insensitive compare, otherwise it       wouldn't match against the configured uppercase password)              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 120/340 601 154/10 203/0 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
