I am having trouble getting bincimap to authenticate properly.

Here is an example telnet session:

telnet neptune 143
Trying 10.0.0.8...
Connected to markhobley.yi.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Welcome to Binc IMAP Copyright (C) 2002-2005 Andreas Aardal Hanssen at
2005-10-22 23:40:34 BST
1 login mark testpass
1 NO LOGIN failed: Plain text password authentication is disallowed. Please
try enabling SSL or TLS in your mail client.

My configuration file /etc/bincimap/bincimap.conf contains the following
entries:

Authentication {
allow plain auth in non ssl = "yes", /* allow login or
authenticate
when not in
SSL/TLS mode */

auth penalty = 4, /* on auth failure,
* server sleeps so
* many seconds
* before allowing
* client to
* authenticate
* again.
*/
disable starttls = "no"
}

Please advise.

Regards,

Mark.
