Re: [cobalt-users] raq4 and SMTP AUTH

Hi,

looked more & found it... got the PLAIN mechanism working, the others
not yet.  Thanks for that pointer!

Your remark concerning the LOGIN auth mechanism is interesting (since
most use outlook), but here I *really* did not find what your referred to
here.  I have done UNIX programming for many years, but never built
RPMs---so it is not all that straightforward to me.  For instance, where
do I find the SRPM you referred to?

Thanks,
