I'd consider this a bug in Courier, since hanging up without saying goodbye is a protocol violation. Please consider giving an error message and then continuing with authentication.

The protocol violation is first made by the client, which attempts a SASL authentication method that the server never claimed is available:

But is courier really allowed to drop the connection without any comment?

If the mail client doesn't see the SASL RPA authentication method listed, it has no business trying it, just for the hell of it.

So there will be no fix for this in courier-pop?
