Changes: This release features password caching using a password hash to store passwords encrypted with MD5. This speeds up authentications. It adds a "BlockList" feature that can be used to block users like root and Administrator from being authenticated against an IMAP server, and fixes several compile bugs and segfault bugs.

Changes: This version fixes a few malloc bugs, and disallows NULL passwords (faster logins).
- 22 Nov 2003 12:13
Changes: pam_imap now plays well with others by grabbing passwords from other modules (like pam_unix.so) instead of asking for it redundantly. This allows the sysadmin to auth passwords both locally and remotely on the same system with the same login session.
