Subject: Problem with imap authentication username@server
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:11:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iqte8twe.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I am having a problem using imap as a mail source.  My situation may be
an edge case.  My mail server is inside my corporation's firewall, so I
ssh into the protected area, and then port forward the mail server's
imap port to another port on my local machine.

Using the following entry in my mail-sources

(imap :server "localhost"
      :port 1430
      :user "eshulte"
      :stream starttls
      :authentication login
      :mailbox "inbox")

I am able to connect to the server, however when I try to authenticate
my authentication is rejected.  I believe this is because gnus is
appending "@localhost" to my login name.  Is it possible to turn this
behavior off?

Thanks -- Eric
