Of course, SSPI does support Kerberos v5 on Win2000 and XP, so as you say any properly-written application, client or server, should naturally support Kerberos v5 authentication. Can you comment on the status of Kerberos authentication support, for IMAP/POP/SMTP, in Exchange Server and in the various Microsoft email clients? Last I heard, none of them can use it today. - RL "Bob"
