Hey all,
I just managed to figure out a fix for this problem, so I'm sending this to the
lsit in the hope it will help somebody else having this later.
Apparently, if ESMTPAUTH is empty, no authentication is considered valid, even
if the connection is over SSL or TLS. (I didn't want to enable authentication
over an unecrypted connection, so I enabled nothing for non-TLS connections.)
Adding anything to that field made authentication work over SSL. (In order to
keep passwords from being send in the clear, I only added CRAM-MD5.) Perhaps
this is a bug?
Hope this helps somebody else later,
Jonathan Sailor

Subject: SMTP Rejects Valid Authentication
Hi,
I recently switched to courier for my mail system, and almost everything's
working great. However, SMTP authentication is not. Whenever I try to
authenticate, using what I know to be a valid username/password, I get a
535 Authentication rejected
error. The relevant parts of my /etc/courier/esmtpd are:
ESMTPAUTH_TLS="PLAIN LOGIN"
AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"
I am using TLS, and I know the authdaemon is working because imap and pop
authentication work fine. It also can't be a problem with PAM, because imap and
smtp, in /etc/pam.d, are the same. Google-ing hasn't turned up anything.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Jonathan Sailor
