Right. The docs are not clear. HOWEVER. MSFT is set to always use AUTH and it is NOT using AUTH unless the SIMS server reports AUTH. >It would be wrong behavior for a client to attempt to use AUTH if it >wasn't 'advertised' in the response to EHLO. Hmmm... If I set something to "Always do this" I expect it to ALWAYS DO IT. Period. If my telling it to always do it results in an error, then it should come back and say "Sorry master, I tried to do what you told me to but there wass an error and here it is." >However, Mr. Zigrang's view is certainly understandable.

Stalker could make money supporting SIMS. No question. They don't want to though. Wanna start SIMS TechSupport, Inc? We could split up the calls where I take all the easy "level 1" questions and foist them off on you when they get hard. :) > ... it seems like something worth paying for. SIms is so good if I ever win the lotto I'm buying a big fat Communigate license. Not because I need Communigate, I don't. Just cuz. -- ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
