| Description: |
Hi Marshall, today I tried to use the smtp modul to send mail to an authenticating MTA (qmail) using CRAM-MD5. That didn't work. Looking at the logs, I found the response to the challenge 4 char too short. The base64::encode proc folds this long response into 2 lines (which is coorect), but qmail is not able to digest a 2 line response. Maybe other MTA's have the same problem. A simple removal of the newline char fixed the problem (see patch). I'm not sure if it's a bug of tcllib or if qmail is to blame. Regardless, now it works. Would you (or someone else) please check it against other MTAs? Best regards Ulrich | |||

Logged In: YES user_id=202636 OK. Simpler is to give -maxlen 0 to the base64::encode command to turn off the wrapping functionality. I'm not going to do this to DIGEST-MD5 unless there are reports of similar problems. andreas_kupries added on 2005-07-22 04:48:53: Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Reassigning the report.
