3.3.4 AllowEmptyPktPwd

Syntax:
allowEmptyPktPwd <off|secure|on>
Example:
allowEmptyPktPwd on

This flag is useful if you want to generate packet passwords for this link, but do not want to check the packet passwords that your link sends to you. This is sometimes necessary as a workaraound if your link sends you netmail packets without packet passwords, for example.

The default state is off. In this case the incoming packet password must match the packet password that you defined. This is the most secure option.

If you set this switch to secure, packets that do not contain a packet password and are received in the protected inbound will be processed. You can use this if your uplink sometimes sends you packets without packet passwords, as a workaround until the uplink has fixed his system. Still, if you receive packets with wrong packet passwords, they will be rejected.

The setting on works like the secure setting, with the difference that packets without packet passwords are allowed even in the unprotected inbound directory. It is not recommended to use this setting.

This statement can only be repeated for different links.
