Sorry that the readme was no longer available. I'm attaching a copy to this

also supports AUTH-LOGIN).

You should click on the save button when you make changes to the
configuration.

I don't think this has to do with the templates. Could you try downloading
the latest beta and installing that to see what happens?
Thanks.

iMS SMTP Server 1.3 beta 2
General
-------
iMS SMTP Server 1.3 now supports the following new features:
- SMTP authentication using CRAM-MD5.
- Delivery of non-RFC compliant messages
Related RFCs
------------
822, 2104, 2195, 2554
Installation
------------
Stop the iMS SMTP Server. Make a backup copy of inFusionSMTP.exe and
Configurator.exe. Copy the beta versions of the software over the
original versions.
Authentication Configuration
----------------------------
Open the iMS configurator. There is a new setting on the SMTP page that
enables SMTP authentication. Check off that setting, save the settings
and restart the SMTP Server. You should see a line in the log file like:
05/30/2000 03:20:42 PM SMTP Authentication enabled
Create a template called SMTPAUTH.CFM and place it in the iMS\Domains
directory. This template is used to look up the password of the user
for authentication. The template should return two settings:
RESULT=ACCEPT/REJECT
PASSWORD=<password>
Your template will be provided with the user name as a form variable called
SMTPAUTHUSER.
Example template:
<cfquery name="getpassword" datasource="iMS">
select password from pops where user="SMTPAUTHUSER">
</cfquery>
<cfif getpassword.recordcount gt 0>
<cfoutput>
result=accept
password=#getpassword.password#
</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
result=reject
</cfif>
Subsequent templates (MAIL, RCPT and DATA) will have access to additional form
vars as follows:
SMTPAUTHUSER - this will either have the name of the authenticated user or will
be blank.
SMTPAUTHPASS - this will either have the password of the authenticated user or
will be blank.
AUTHENTICATED - this will be "YES" or "NO" depending on whether the user has
successfully authenticated or not.
Configuration for Delivery of Non-RFC Compliant Messages
--------------------------------------------------------
RFC 822 specifies that e-mail messages be terminated with the following sequence:
<CRLF>.<CRLF>
However, some non-compliant mailers do not terminate messages properly. iMS SMTP
Server 1.3 can now account for these situations and deliver the mail properly.
To accomplish this two new parameters are used:
Deliver Unterminated: Enables this feature
Timeout for Received Message: Number of seconds to wait before considering the
message to be fully delivered. Since the message is not terminated properly
the mail server needs to implement a timeout after which the mail is considered
to be completely delivered. The default setting is 60 seconds. You should be
cautious when setting this value as some mailers may be slow in sending a message
and this timeout will effectively terminate the mail sending from the remote server.
You may want to set this value higher than 60 seconds.
The new iMS Configurator (version 1.3 beta 2) has the above settings on the SMTP
configuration tab.
