Re: Modifying SMTPR4 for AUTH LOGIN

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

It should be
EHLO
get response  check to make sure STRTLS is there...
STRTLS
check response
EHLO
get response and make sure AUTH LOGIN is an option
AUTH LOGIN
check for userid prompt (base64)
send user id base64
check for password prompt (base64)
send password in base64

I know you're probably not going to check the responses, but that's how
it's supposed to work.  :)  There is more to it than just the bare
minimum... but that's what most seem to go for.

If you want to contact me offline to see if I can get MAILTOOL Plus to work
with it just to make sure the SMTP server isn't for some reason wacky, feel
free.
