Roger,
We run the latest version of BlackICE and have no problems with SMTP AUTH. The only
modification we've made to BlackICE is a change to the issuelist.csv file to
auto-block the "smtp too many errors" event. So, I do not think your problem is with
BlackICE.
But to test it you could add a temporary firewall rule to always allow AND trust all
traffic on port 25.

BlackIce is amazing. It shows so much about ports and their activities
and it is smart enough to tell you what kind of traffic is happening.
I could see many using SMTP AUTH requests and it was even clear how
often users are setting up their readers to poll mail by this. If you
correlate your IMail logs with this in terms of matching times, you
could clearly see who has their readers set high to poll mail often.
I'll be looking at how to disable this as potentially blocked. I have
not found it yet.
