As I documented last week, the NT SMTPD process that does SMTP AUTH is
different from the SMTPD process handling the rest of the session. I have
a PERL script (untested since I don't have the AUTH failures pb, and nobody
with the pb followed thru with me to test it againt their system) that
telnets to port 25 and tries the AUTH command and, after a timeout, sends a
msg to a pgm alias to stop/start SMTP service.
So if anybody wants some relief to this pb, no matter what the cause (odbc,
version Imail, Netscape) before Ipswitch does a next patch release, I'm
still waiting to test my SMTP AUTH checker. Let me know if you want to
test it. There's not much to do on your end

Then of course the recommendation is to up to 6.04 and see what happens.
We are still waiting to hear from Daniel about why the Imail 250- responses
after EHLO/HELO sometimes do and don't have 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 announcement.
