Well, I hadn't thought of that but it is quite possibly correct. Although, I just tried out Evolution with method set to CRAM-MD5 and was able to auth with the SMTP-auth patch and vpopmail. But I don't know if Evolution will fall back on plain or login if it fails MD5.... I wouldn't have thought so but you never know. Anyone else been able to use CRAM-MD5 with vpopmail?
