After finding that only the username 'ed' doesn't work, I
tried running AUTH LOGIN over SSL using "openssl s_client".
I found that only the username 'ed' doesn't work. So, other than "Secure
Password" and STARTTLS being broken, Outlook is off the hook. It
can at least do LOGIN over SSL. I suspect a bug in SASL1. I have rebuilt
sendmail-8.13.6 with SASL2, and will do some testing with that.

Ok. But SMTP AUTH is just as essential to SPF deployment as SRS.
In fact, it is more essential. SRS is a work around for recipients
that can't list their own forwarders for some reason (e.g. large ISP
supporting non-computer literate mail users). SMTP AUTH is the
cleanest way to enable an SPF pass for mobile users. (Other choices
being VPN and SSH tunnels.)
You are right, it was not developed as part of the SPF project. But
it is essential to deployment. I am happy with a Community page, though.
