> emulation...?
No. just curious why 2 MUAs behave the same regarding to authentication. there're several authenticators and i guess that different MUA will use different one if appropriate to use.
I meant to say, that thunderbird is emulating OE.
>The other 2 (AUTH PLAIN and AUTH CRAM-MD5) are used for login to POP/IMAP ???
?? we are talking of an SMTP server here! These authentication are for decent client applications, like the not so amazing, but still much better than OE, Eudora.
i try Eudora after reading your message. Surprisingly, it won't work with any of my authenticators??
I use Eudora for Mac, have used OE for windows (with headaches), Mail.app for Mac (drives me mad too), pine. They all work. I suspect you might have still the cisco in the way. Why can't you just do the easy thing and telnet to the server from the *same* machine you use for testing eudora or OE, and see if you can get past the EHLO command?

OE allows you to use for SMTP AUTH the same authentication settings of the POP/IMAP account, so there is no need.
yes, i find this too. Thx
let them complain, they would anyway, after all they most probably use Windows, poor little ones.
They must ask me WHY need to enter password twice. Dunno if i should tell them the truth: "i can't make it work"
one thing is: it does not work: in this case they don't have to enter the password twice... another thing is: it works, and then it depends on the client if you have to (or better: can) enter the password twice.
Come one,
Giuliano
