Hi:

I have been trying to figure out why we're having trouble getting the 'mail' program on OSX Mac's to smtp authenticate with the newer netqmail-1.05 versions of the Toaster. When the Mac's mail program is able to authenticate with a mailserver built in Fall 2003.

We inspected the code in qmail.smtp.c and found in the earlier versions the smtp code outputs two forms of AUTH information - one with an equal sign (=) and one without.


#ifdef AUTHCRAM out("\r\n250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN"); out("\r\n250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN"); #else out("\r\n250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN"); out("\r\n250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN"); #endif

but the current netqmail 1.05 version only outputs one form of AUTH.

#ifdef CRAM_MD5
  out("250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5\r\n");
#else
  out("250 AUTH LOGIN PLAIN\r\n");
#endif

Can anyone explain what the difference is and whether it could affect the ability of the Mac's mail program to authenticate?

Thanks in advance.



Best Regards,

Jeff Koch
