Hi, I was wrong about the password length limitation.
Some passwords are not making it through the setup. I captured the communications to show the problem. using password Abcdefgh99 the log shows the following communications. 220 sys58.mail.msu.edu ESMTP Exim 4.75 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:51:00 -0400 EHLO localhost 250-sys58.mail.msu.edu Hello eshop1.pa.msu.edu [35.9.69.81] 250-SIZE 78643200 250-PIPELINING 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250 HELP AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 dGlnbmVy 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 QWJjZGVmZ2g5OQ== 535 Incorrect authentication data Using password Sherlock99 the log shows that the communications is missing or has a blank password. 220 sys01.mail.msu.edu ESMTP Exim 4.75 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:54:03 -0400 EHLO localhost 250-sys01.mail.msu.edu Hello eshop1.pa.msu.edu [35.9.69.81] 250-SIZE 78643200 250-PIPELINING 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250 HELP AUTH LOGIN 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6 dGlnbmVy 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6 535 Incorrect authentication data You notice that just above the line "535 Incorrect authentication data" The first log shows a successfully base64 encoded password, but the 2nd log shows a blank line. Maybe this problem is in the xsane-setup.c file. I will look at it when I have more time, but perhaps someone on the development team can spot the problem sooner than I could. thanks !
