Well, I've been working on this for a while, It appears that it happens most often to WinXP Machines, but I've also seen it on win2k and the 9x's as well. I know the service packs don't have a impact on it, nor does thbe outlook version, because I've had clients update both and nothing changed. The only thing I've found is different from a working outlook and a none working outlook is that some of the files versions are different. You can view these versions by opening outlook and going to help/About Microsoft Outlook express. Now, the actual outlook files are not the ones that turn up different on the working and none working clients. The files like csapi3t1.dll, comctl32.dll, mapi32.dll...etc, or any file that dosen't have the outlook version as it's version, are different.
I've setup tcploging via tcpdump, and recordio on the qmail server though, and I've started changeing the code to the auth-smtp patch, and I think I've fixed the problem. (I still want to need to do more testing.) It appears that the windows clients connect to the server issue a ehlo but then never take any auth request. I have come to believe that this is because of the way the way the patch presents the auth offer, I've been looking at servers using the old qmail-auth_smtp patch for qmail stock, and I've noticed it presents the auth offers different. I've also read the RFC 2554 and noticed the patch was missing a few requirments, I've tried to make it more compliant. If anyone else needs my patch let me know. I hope this helps for anyone else having this problem Signed, Aaron Collins Kevin Ying wrote: > > Aaron, would you mind supplying more detailed information about your > client-side issue? > > There are dozens of different combinations of OS, client software, and > service packs that unless you supply this information for reproducing the > error, someone else trying to reproduce it might have the same behavior > but a completely different problem. > > We're using SMTP AUTH w/ Outlook Express 2000 using Windows 2000 SP1 > successfully with the auth_smtp mentioned on the lifewithqmail page as of > the 20020901 patch release. > > On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Aaron Collins wrote: > > > Ok, I know this isn't the list for auth-smtp-ldap, but I don't know > > where else to post it.
