Hello All:
I recently installed Courier 0.36.1 on a test machine and I'm trying to get 
ESMTP AUTH to work. I'm using Sylpheed as a test client and Courier's esmtpd 
as the test server. Every message fails with the following line(s) in the log:

Dec 24 11:30:39 kiwi courieresmtpd: started,ip=[::ffff:192.168.1.13]
Dec 24 11:30:39 kiwi courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:192.168.1.13,
  msg="535 Authentication failed.",cmd: AUTH CRAM-MD5

I've been over the source to esmtpd, and it appears that 'Authentication 
Failed' means that the authentication mechanism died during execution - the 
program 'authstart' gets called, but doesn't do what it is supposed to.

I'm using Linux-PAM and I've installed esmtp, webmail, pop3d, and imapd PAM 
config files directly from the defaults present in /usr/lib/courier/etc. The 
defaults don't seem to work and neither does monkeying with the 
configurations of either PAM or esmtpd.

I would very much like to use courier as a replacement for our current rather 
creaky Sendmail/Majordomo/Cyrus/IMP installation. However, I have to have 
SMTP-AUTH working for several 'road warriors' that we have to support.

Any ideas?
