pop3-brute.nse (I think)

Not really a problem, but an optimization, I think. While trying out --script '*', I noticed that my test target was responding that the method of authentication being used on port 995 was unacceptable. This is on Ubuntu 9.10, running Dovecot. Here's the conversation according to Wireshark:

S: +OK Dovecot ready.
C: USER root
S: -ERR Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections.

This goes on and on. Might be best to just give up if getting this error, but I don't know how general that solution would be.
