I couldn't find where Eudora 5.0 sets CRAM-MD5. The Eudora Help files
refers to CRAM-MD5 in only 2 places. One is the following:
===============
Authentication Style
Specifies the authentication style. Ask your email administrator which one
is being used at your site. To get mail from a CompuServe incoming server,
choose RPA as the authentication style.
For POP, you can use Passwords, Kerberos, APOP, or RPA.
For IMAP, you can use Passwords or CRAM-MD5.
===============
The IMAP option appears as only in the Incoming Mail form.
The other reference to CRAM-MD5 has the following:
===========================
Allow authentication� Eudora can log in to an SMTP server when sending
mail, just like it does for receiving mail. Not all SMTP servers require or
allow such authentication. Eudora will attempt authentication to servers
that allow it. The preferred SMTP authentication method is CRAM-MD5. If
CRAM-MD5 is not available, LOGIN or PLAIN will automatically be used.
========================
Since I have LOGIN selected in my iMS SMTP settings, this suggests Eudora
would/should have SMTP Authenticated with LOGIN. Since it did not, Matt's
comment "SMTP Authentication is not easy with Eudora" comes to mind.
Does anyone have specific settings for Eudora that will allow SMTP
Authentication?
