After reading again and again xmail doc about authentication methods, = you are true ..
YOU CAN'T change xmail SMTP basic auth methods (LOGIN, PLAIN and = CRAM-MD5). Xmail allways use it's internal auth for this ... You could use a 'virtual' LOGIN2 verb but you need to tell you mua to specify this 'LOGIN2' !! and actualy don't know if exist a mua can do = this without patching it ... In xmail SMTP incoming users auth is not as customizable as POP3 users = auth (per domain, any auth method, replacing xmail auth for 'stantdard' auth methods ...)... This could be a xmail new feature to FIRST look at smtpextauth.tab and = use ANY external auth specified here EVEN if already managed by xmail. So = if xmail found a LOGIN or PLAIN or CRAM-MD5 in smtpextauth.tab it use THIS = and not its internal auth. The best way could finally be (xmail future ?) : - pop3 ext auth using <xmailroot>/userauth/pop3 for pop3 user = connecting to xmail - smtp ext auth using <xmailroot>/userauth/smtp-in for smtp user = connecting to xmail and xmail allways execute the ext auth program specified for the auth method even if xmail implements it ... like for pop3, <domain>.tab files permit you to specify different = programs and auth methods for different domains ! cool .. - smtp ext auth using <xmailroot>/userauth/smtp-out for xmail = connecting as a client against servers - no more need for smtpextauth.tab and smtpauth.tab (only for = compatibility ....) Davide ? any comment ? Can you explain actual xmail Incoming smtp users authentication = (flowchart, files used, ...) ? I'm not sure I understood it well ...

EHLO out put: 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN CRAM-MD5 LOGIN So basicly it looks like with smtpextauth.tab is that it's there not so = much to act like pop3's External Auth but to allow you to add your own = "Auth"=20 type to Xmail's Auth types (those being Login,plain,cram-md5).
