You should tell the whole joke, not just the punch-line (last line of the joke). Your problem description is missing ALL the key details, it is of no use at all. - Post the unedited server responses from the moment you connected (show the 220 banner) until you got the server's list of SASL mechanisms. - Post the server logs related to the transaction. - Do not post your attempt to manually login with SASL, especially with non-plaintext mechanisms (GSSAPI, CRAM-MD5, ...) you simply won't be able to mimic the protocol by hand. I am not at all suprised that you could not SASL authenticate via telnet. -- Viktor. P.S.
