Hi,
I stumbled across a problem with james (2.2.0), ASSP (antispam filter) and Thunderbird as mail client.
The problem is that Mozilla Thunderbird does NOT use authentification is the server does not advertise it supports it (250 - AUTH LOGIN PLAIN). If it doesn't state that is supports AUTH then auth doesn't happen and the connection fails.
The problem is that if, instead of connecting directly to james, the user connects through assp (required for whitelisting and such things) the connection comes from ASSP which is on the same machine. The result? The connection issued by ASSP comes from 127.0.0.1 which is an authorized address, for obvious reasons. As a consequences james answer to isAuthorized() is Yes, which causes it not to display the 250 auth login message and therefore causes thunderbird not to use auth.
Obviously a very useful feature would be an option for forcing the announcement of AUTH capabilities as answer to EHLO, whatever the source ip is. What do you think?
Thanks, Jacques
