Re: [Logicmail-users] Can't send messages while connected to an Exchange 2007 server using IMAP

[Derek K. <dko...@lo...>]

  So I did a little digging, and I think I know what your problem is...
First, I had to figure out what your SMTP server was, so I used the 
"dig" utility to find the MX record in DNS for the e-mail address you're 
using.  Then I tried connecting to that server myself on port 587.  From 
that, I was able to discover that the MS Exchange SMTP server you're 
trying to connect to is only configured to support a very limited set of 
authentication mechanisms.  Specifically, "GSSAPI" and "NTLM".  As 
you've probably discovered in your configuration attempts, LogicMail 
only supports "PLAIN", "LOGIN", and "CRAM-MD5".

Supporting GSSAPI does not make much sense for LogicMail to bother with 
(its designed for Kerberos single-sign-on).  Supporting NTLM makes more 
sense, but being one of those Microsoft protocols, its quite complex and 
only seriously used by Microsoft's server software (or software designed 
to interoperate with it).

The easiest way to get SMTP working for you is to get your server 
configuration fixed to support some other authentication mechanism 
(possibly also supporting SSL/TLS), or using a different server for 
sending mail.

Adding NTLM support to LogicMail is possible in the future, but is far 
from easy, and there are many higher-priority items already on the to-do 
list.  Of course if someone else has experience with NTLM and wants to 
contribute, I'll welcome that. :-)
