Anybody figure out how to support authenticated SMTP?
My first try:

Added one line to "services" :
asmtp           26/tcp          amail

Added one line to "inetd.conf" :
asmtp stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup lists.kz \
/usr/bin/checkpassword  /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

Then set my email client to use port 26 for sending, all I get is:
-ERR authorization first.

I get the same error whether I use a valid or invalid user/password.

Any better ideas as to how the authentication protocol is supposed to work?
This was obviously a blind guess at it.  ;-)

Take care,
Ron
