We had CRAM-MD5 disabled in the toaster we built in late 2003 and it successfully SMTP authenticates using LOGIN PLAIN with Mac OSX Mail. Why is LOGIN PLAIN a problem for the current toaster? Is it possible there is a bug in the SMTP-Auth patch 0.4.2? I understand there is a 0.4.3 patch which fixes some bugs.
Also, some Google search revealed that there have been some buggy server implementations of the smtp-auth RFC's which have caused Mac Mail to fail to authenticate. Eudora has had to issue a patch to acommodate the same problem.
Is that copy of Mail configured to use Password or MD5 authentication? I wasn't aware that LOGIN PLAIN was a problem with the current toaster. I used it on a development box to do some client-side AUTH development and testing, and it worked fine.
I don't think anything changed that would cause LOGIN PLAIN to fail, but you'd have to check with Erwin, the SMTP AUTH guru (http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html).
