HI,

        It's still me and i try to understand how the cram-md5 smtp authentication 
works :


        for the authentication string i use the user/password couple :


        toto/titi
        in the file mailusers.tab :

        "domainas.com"  "toto"  "110c110c"      71      "toto"  "U"

        in the file smtpauth.tab:

        "toto"       "titi"  "MRV"


        c:i connect to the xmailserver port 25
        c:give ehlo string
        S:the system answers with
        S:250 xxx
        C:i send auth cram-md5
        S:the server returns a challenge in Base64 encoding
                i decode it and add the result to the user:password couple
                i concatenate the following :
                toto:titi<decoded challenge>
                with the string i generate via Md5 encryption a second string which 
ist 
encrypted in Base64
        C:the result is sent to the server
        S:and the server tells :
        S:503 Authentication failed


        now my question what is wrong
