There is one SMTP AUTH, and it's defined in RFC 2554.

Products I'm aware of that support SMTP AUTH (or will shortly) 
as defined in the RFC:

Servers: PMDF (Innosoft), MDstore (Messaging Direct), Sendmail 8.10,
         Netscape

Clients: Execmail, Mulberry. I'm sure there are others.

The major use for SMTP AUTH will be in SUBMIT servers. The combination
of SUBMIT + SMTP AUTH will make it possible to disable relay on SMTP
servers without restricting mobile mail clients.
