Hi DexterDave, those are the authentication methods enabled in the server side. You have to choose one of them. For example if you choose the 'LOGIN' method simply enter
AUTH LOGIN and the server will reply with base64 data: VXNlcm5hbWU6 asking your username. So enter your username base64-encoded and press enter. Then the server will reply in base64 asking you for your password.. UGFzc3dvcmQ6 With the same method enter your password base64-encoded. If your credentials are ok the server will reply with an "accepted" message. Then you can start sending your mail (MAIL FROM, RCPT TO etc) However you can follow this guide http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html for smtp auth methods.

Hi I have a huge problem. Been working on it for days now. I type either: s_client -crlf -connect smtp.gmail.com:465 or s_client -starttls smtp -crlf -connect smtp.gmail.com:25 into my openssl editor and it connect me with smtp.gmail.com But then under the ehlo command gmail's authentication type is: "250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XOAUTH" Now what code do I use to log in? I've tried "auth login plain xoauth (and pressed enter)" but it tells me syntax error. HOW CAN I LOG IN?
