Extension:AuthPOP3

Purpose
This extension authenticates a wiki user against POP3 servers.

Installation
Proceed at your own risk!

Place the source code below in a file titled Auth_pop3.php under the extensions folder of your installation.

Add these two lines to the bottom of your LocalSettings.php require_once('extensions/Auth_pop3.php'); $wgAuth = new Auth_pop3;

It is necessary to edit the variables maildomain and mailserver to connect to your POP3 server.

You probably want to edit the initUser function to set the users real name and email address properly for your configuration. 

Note
Code contains lots of  to debug pop3 server misbehaviour. You should remove those once you verified the code is working. Or use decent logging right away... I am happy to hear if you successfully used the plugin or if you improved it.
