From 0f2e68b54c7f85656299539de8a4aebab795d369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Viktorin Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 01:39:44 +0200 Subject: send-email: provide whitelist of SMTP AUTH mechanisms When sending an e-mail, the client and server must agree on an authentication mechanism. Some servers (due to misconfiguration or a bug) deny valid credentials for certain mechanisms. In this patch, a new option --smtp-auth and configuration entry smtpAuth are introduced. If smtp_auth is defined, it works as a whitelist of allowed mechanisms for authentication selected from the ones supported by the installed SASL perl library.
