I have been doing some work on adding SMTP AUTH support into qpsmtpd (a qmail-smtpd replacement in perl), and found that kmail from kde-cvs doesn't appear to do plain auth properly. It looks like it is sending 'usernameusernamepassword' in response to the username request, and the 'MAIL FROM:' in response to the password! It does do login properly though. If you want to check manually, telnet to the smtp server and: 'EHLO whatever.com' Check the output, it will list the available AUTH methods. 'auth plain' or login, ignore any -md5 methods, I doubt you can do base64 encoded md5 hashes in your head :) Input your username and password as requested, then try a 'MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' and see what you get. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/336MInuLMrk7bIwRAjviAJ4/QLdKIPHwyD+uXZe8e+Bd8y7EvgCgoeh3 2BgElFMeXk8I6IPJ77sV/ZM= =787K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
