It successfully authenticates using LOGIN.

Now if I understand correctly using PLAIN and LOGIN isn't great, NTLM 
also isn't great as it's a closed standard. GSSAPI doesn't seem to work 
either but is supported in some way by both Exchange and Balsa. How 
much work is required to bridge that gap? Or would I be buying a ticket 
to a kicking?
