Also I noticed that Auth.pm does not respond to a client "*" command during

504 Invalid authentificat

500 Unrecognized command
According to RFC2554:
"If the client wishes to cancel an authentication exchange, it issues a line
with a single "*". If the server receives such an answer, it MUST reject the
AUTH command by sending a 501 reply."
Like this (from a Postfix session):
AUTH PLAIN
334
*
501 5.7.0 Authentication aborted
OK. That needs to be raised as a separate issue.
