Hoi,
I'm currently tackling all those old bugs in masqmail. This one is one
of them.
First I want to explain how masqmail actually acts, based on my code
research (smtp_out.c):
If the server says ``ESMTP'' in the initial message, then masqmail
says ``EHLO'' otherwise ``HELO''. If the following response of the
server matches the regexp /^....AUTH[ =\t]/ then authentication
will be done.
It seems that servers only respond with multi-line answers which
include stuff like AUTH if the greeting was ``EHLO''. This bases on a
quick test with a handful of servers I know.
I don't know one of these picky servers, PLEASE TELL ME if you know
one, so I can test.
I don't want to simply apply Eric's patch because it introduces a new
option which I would like to avoid. My aim is to find out more about
the existing implementations out there and decide then.
Please also tell me if this bug affects you.
