I noticed that popper.h had a #define for MAXPARMLEN but never used it. I decided it's a good idea and added it to my popper on top of some of the other patches I've seen here. I bumped up the MAXPARMLEN size to 16. So far on my FreeBDS-based system with only 5,000 users, I haven't noticed any problems yet.
Is there a reason the qpopper folks didn't do this in the first place? The defined it, but never used it.
This would break APOP, which parameters are a username and a md5sum (32 bytes, if I read the source correctly).
Puzzled, Aaron out.
