Where did you get this handler? The only similar thing I am aware of is a patch at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/558281>. While the proper first line of recourse to a third party patch/handler is to the author, if you tell me where this handler came from so I can get a copy, I'll look at how to fix it. However, if your SMTPAUTHDirect.py is just SMTPDirect.py patched as above, it just uses smtplib.connect.login and it seems that that should try all offered authentication methods that it supports which are in order of preference, CRAM_MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN. Thus it would seem either your handler is not just SMTPDirect.py patched as above or perhaps your server is not offering AUTH methods in response to EHLO. You could try settng the connection's debug level as described in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030716> to get more info. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
