The POD is not clear on what, exactly, should be entered into the
config/auth_flat_file file. One thing is clear - older mail clients like
my Mozilla do not even trigger the plugin at all.

        I've tried a number of things with a Windows version of Netscape
7.1, which all fail. I set it up to login with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]:password" in the config file. First it prompted me for a
password, and when I supplied it, it prompted me for a password for
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]@testhost.rope.net" (Server hostname is
"testhost.rope.net").

        Next I set Netscape to use the envelope sender address
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]:password" in the config file. Another
failure.

        How about "sub-8b43e-ql" with
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]:password" in the config file?

        Maybe "sub-8b43e-ql" with "sub-8b43e-ql:password"?

        Okay, what am I not seeing? What am I not doing correctly?

        I notice this from the log file before the pluging actually fires:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at 
lib/Qpsmtpd/SMTP.pm line 227.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at 
lib/Qpsmtpd/SMTP.pm line 227.

        That's this chunk of code:

    $self->respond(250,
                 $self->config("me") . " Hello " . $conn->remote_info . " [" . 
$conn->remote_ip ."]",
                 "PIPELINING",
                 "8BITMIME",
                 ($self->config('databytes') ? "SIZE ". 
($self->config('databytes'))[0] : ()),
                 @capabilities,
                );

        It's located at the end of the 'ehlo' subroutine.

        I also got this when I sent the password:

334 PGM0ZTliLjQzZTY5MTI0QHNwcmludC5yb3BlLm5ldD4=

        It hangs at that point, but on my earlier attempts actually did:

334 PDM0YmM1LjQzZTY4ODg5QHNwcmludC5yb3BlLm5ldD4=
Premature end of base64 data at lib/Qpsmtpd/Auth.pm line 289, <> line 1.
running plugin (auth-cram-md5): auth_flat_file
Plugin auth, hook auth-cram-md5 returned DECLINED,
Authentication failed for o^* -
Authentication failed for o^* -

        (When I kill the send, it stops hanging and pretty much does the
same as above.)

        The plugin returns at the first 'DECLINED'.

        Thanks for any help.

        (Apologies for being such a pest. My first and only previous
install, 0.26, was a piece of cake compared to this.)
