Client tests of SMTP AUTH



Here's what I've found so far:

Outlook Express 5.0.2 doesn't work at all.
Outlook Express 5.0.6 uses the deprecated and undocumented "LOGIN" mechanism.

Entourage X (10.1.1) uses CRAM-MD5.

Mac OS X Mail (1.2.5, v552) allows you to choose from "Password" (PLAIN), "MD-5 Challenge/Response" (CRAM-MD5), Kerberos v4 or Kerberos v5 (GSSAPI). I have not been able to get the SASL libraries to compile successfully with Kerberos 4 or GSSAPI, so I can't test these two to see if they work.
