No. Thats wrong. The Auth patch skips the auth-id and uses the user-id and
the password:
You're right -- I took a closer look.
I also went back to the original message that showed the error was "501 malformed auth input (#5.5.4)". So, it had nothing to do with the authentication failing.
It makes me wonder what version of the SMTP AUTH patch the original poster is using, and whether any errors with base64 decoding of auth plain were fixed in recent releases.
