All the authentication options you mention after plain text (which

existing user passwords (which is what I do). GSSAPI requires
Kerberos, and
the digest methods (the -MD5 ones) need a separate file of
passwords held in
plain text - the sasldb. Of the passwd-based methods, PLAIN is the
preferred
protocol according to the docs and RFCs - LOGIN is the one
Microsoft uses (go

Thanks, that's almost all of what I needed there. You insinuated (but
I don't think explicitly stated) that LOGIN is in fact encrypted in
some form?
Thanks,
Only across SSL/TLS connections.
