Hello Damian,

On Thursday, June 20, 2002 at 11:20:31 PM you [DG] wrote (at least in
part):

DG> Already done.  I'll try to find out how to import the public key...

Save the public key in a textual file, preferred extended '.pem'.
if you do use the 'internal' S/MIME implementation open the address
book entry for your server, go to 'Certificates' tab and 'Import' one
... the text file you've saved the public key to.

When using 'MS-Crypot API' for S/MIME you'll have to import the
.pem-file in e.g. Internet Explorer settings / Content / Certificates
into 'Trusted Root certification Authorities'

DG> Ah -- thanks.  I'll recompile the libraries to provide CRAM-MD5.

Do so ... if done you'll not even need to tell The Bat! using
CRAM-MD5, it will do automatically, as it chooses the most secure
authentication method available. So if your server announces CRAM-MD%
capabilities in it's EHLO-greeting The Bat! will automatically choose
it. The 'Require' is only to make sure that if the server drops
CRAM-MD5 capabilities for any reason (e.g. ISP renews the server and
forgets to compile CRAM-MD5 into it) it will not try to send your
password in plain text.

So .. as long as this is _your_ server there's no real need to enable
the 'Require ..' unless you expect somebody might 'hijack' your server
and you'll be sure never giving out the plain text password (which
should be your smallest problem if the server is hacked *GGG*)

HTH Pit.

P.S.: One thing left:

To avoid THIS:

being in replies it's a good idea to follow the welcome message and
insert a signature delimiter at least below your mail, ideally above
your signature.
A signature delimiter is '-- ' followed by <Enter>
(<dash><dash><space><enter>), all on one line, at the very beginning
and the only content of that line. The 'space' _is_ important.
