I'm building MTA server. Also I use IMAP server to serve user's mail to that particular user.
Does MTA and IMAP server each require different passwords? I know that they are separate entities that perform disparate functions on processing mail.
Still, when I use my MUA it only asks me one password. Why doesn't it ask separate passwords for MTA and IMAP separately?
Are there typical situations where one might consider deploying IMAP and SMTP server that use different authentication information? – Bulat M. – 2017-01-30T14:35:52.100
