Re: [suse-security] postfix smtp client: only plaintext ?

SuSE 9.0 postfix-2.0.14-41

postfix/smtp client refuses to use noplaintext AUTH methods. Plaintext LOGIN seems to work just well, see below.

What am I missing? Are CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 plaintext auth methods?

If you have installed the cyrus-sasl rpm you have to install the cyrus-sasl-crammd5 and cyrus-sasl-digestmd5 rpms. Otherwise check if your sasl was compiled with CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5
