Re: [Evolution] smtp auth problem - how to debug?

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

So it's looking to me like your SMTP server isn't correctly configured
to handle SASL authentication?

Error code 500 means that the syntax is invalid, that seems pretty odd
to me especially seeing as how Evolution did respond with a
syntactically correct response.

Does CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 work at all for other mailers?
