There are two `standards' from SMTP Auth out there ... one by Netscape
(which is that rfc), and one by M$. To date, only Netscape 4.5 and
higher (I believe), and products from Software.com (i.e. InterMail)
support the netscape version (although I haven't looked in a few
months, so I could be wrong). M$ Exchange and Outlook and so on
support the M$ version of SMTP Auth, although I've been told that the
two use different commands so (in theory) you can support both on the
same box, althgouh I don't know of anyone planning or doing that.
