Hi all, I have been trying to get SMTP AUTH working in a hosting setup which I manage. Tonight I succeeded. In the course of so doing I've come up with a few patches which seem to work well for me. Please see: http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/cyrus-sasl-improvements.diff The features are: improved debugging messages, optional use of an SSL transport, and the ability to use MD5 hashes with MySQL or other auxprop plugins. Credit is due to Branko Gr?nar <bfg@noviforum.si> for the last two features. I have tidied there to make a cleaner diff for 2.1.15. At the moment this is a diff which can be applied to the cyrus-sasl2 port. If there's further interest I'll roll the patches into the port itself with toggle switches. BMS
