I believe SPA is an SASL mechanism (despite being a proprietary one). At
least, I know that SPA can be used in ESMTP AUTH. See

Incidentally, that page links to this security advisory:

In true Microsoft style, they have managed to design an authentication
mechanism which puts you at *greater* risk than using cleartext passwords!!
