It seems they're more interested in supporting mail clients and not a relaying connection from an MTA is my guess. See: https://support.countermail.com/kb/faq.php?id=90 In that case, don't use smptd and configure whatever mail client you use to connect directly to their service. (...or get a new service provider that doesn't require CRAM-MD5) Unless something's changed in 7-8 years I don't think OpenSMTPD is going to support CRAM-MD5. See this old GH exchange with Gilles for some background on why: https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/issues/430 -dv
