LogicMail 2.x treats SMTP AUTH using PLAIN and LOGIN the same, in that it only sends a response when challenged by the server. In the case of PLAIN, this results in an unnecessary roundtrip. SMTP AUTH with PLAIN allows an initial response to be sent as an optional argument to the command: AUTH PLAIN <Base64 credentials> 235 2.0.0 OK Authenticated as opposed to: AUTH PLAIN 334 <Base64 credentials> 235 2.0.0 OK Authenticated -- Kenneth Murchison Principle Systems Software Engineer Carnegie Mellon University |
