Summary: Make sb_imapfilter use CRAM MD5 authentication

Initial Comment:
Hi, I maintain the Debian package for Spambayes, and I
received the following message and patch from Kim Minh
Kaplan <qdsmgbm02 at sneakemail.com>

The patch looks ok to me. Is there any chance for the
patch to be included in the next release of spamabayes ?

----------------------------8<--------------------------------

Currently sb_imapfilter only use the LOGIN mechanism to
authenticate
to the IMAP server.  This is a security concern for
many people as it
means clear password is sent across the Internet.

The attached patch makes use of CRAM MD5 authentication
when
available.

Regards,
Kim Minh.

Thanks.  Added to sb_imapfilter r1.55 (so will be in 1.1a1).
 I don't have access to an IMAP server that supports
CRAM-MD5 so can't test it, but it looks good to me.  If
anyone is able to verify that this works (after 1.1a1 is out
is fine) that would be great.
