f.e. latest Eudora (4.2.)
Also Netscape has switched the auth type i don't remember the name but 
between 4.0 and 4.7 there were 2 different types of auth around.
Also Outlook expres suports 2 differenty types i.e. 4.0 don't work with 
qmail-smtp-auth patch while 5.0 does.
The Bat works.

I don't know what exact method each app uses but i have tested the all as a 
part of my job.

Do you have any code ready? we can icorporate this into existing 
qmail-smtp-auth patch to get it to work with all client. Note that Cram-md5 
will require us to store passwords in separate format (md5 or clear) not it 
DES as usual.
