I've been looking for a replacement mail client for Eudora, which seems to have an intense dislike for nested multipart messages.
The Bat! and several others support this well ... but either they are full of security holes like LookOut or LookOut Fast, or cumbersome like Netscape and Pegasus, or not mature enough like PocoMail I like the look of The Bat and have been trying this out, but I've hit a major road block. My ISP, rogers.com, when they took over from @home, implemented an SMTP authenticated server, which even their tech support people don't know what type of authentication is actually used. A log of an exchange with Eudora, which works quite happily, btw, produces the following login exchange ... Rcvd: "220 fep04-mail.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com ESMTP server (InterMail vM.5.01.04.06 201-253-122-122-106-20020109) ready Thu, 14 Feb 2002 12:04:22 -0500\r\n" Sent: "EHLO new\r\n" Rcvd: "250-fep04-mail.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com\r\n" Rcvd: "250-HELP\r\n" Rcvd: "250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN\r\n" Rcvd: "250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN\r\n" Rcvd: "250-PIPELINING\r\n" Rcvd: "250-DSN\r\n" Rcvd: "250-8BITMIME\r\n" Rcvd: "250 SIZE 7168000\r\n" Sent: "AUTH LOGIN\r\n" Rcvd: "334 VXNlcm5hbWU6\r\n" Sent: "c2J<snip about 20 chars>jb20=\r\n" Rcvd: "334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6\r\n" Sent: "dm<snip about 10 chars>cg==\r\n" Rcvd: "235 Authentication successful\r\n" Snipped chars appear like encrypted random chars. Now, I've assumed this to be a CRAM MD-5 authentication. Pegasus and Poco both seem to work OK in doing the authentication, but I cannot get The Bat! to authenticate. I get the following in the log whether I enable MD-5 or disable it. +2/14/2002, 11:55:01: SEND - connected to SMTP server *2/14/2002, 11:55:01: SEND - WARNING: there were no compatible authentication mechanisms detected This is a show stopper for me to use TheBat! since I use multiple domains. Any ideas ?
