Hi all,

I add a script to Bro2.x, which make it could support pop3 now.

The pop3\_login\_success event could work ok, it output the logs I need. But the event pop3\_login\_failure failed.

I use a wrong user and password to login pop3 server, I can find the login failure through the wireshark, BUT the Bro could not generate the corresponding logs. I do not know that whether or not the Bro pop3\_login\_failure could not discover the real pop3 login failure?
