For the first time in several years I have a problem with eublat. A new
customer I've setup gets an "auth PLAIN value" not accepted and disconnects.
Anyone know what this is? I've verified the email acount and passwords being
used, so I'm at a loss.

I don't know off hand but I Googled and found this:
http://www.activexperts.com/support/activemail/auth/
Looks like the server requires secure data.
Also...
From
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=81910&release_id=464950
"When the user requests authentication, if that authentication fails for
CRAM-MD5, try to use AUTH PLAIN. If authentication fails for AUTH PLAIN,
try using AUTH LOGIN. I do not check if the server supports AUTH LOGIN,
just try it anyway if earlier authentication methods do not work. This was
done to get around bugs in servers that advertise CRAM-MD5 but do not
support it correctly."
Here's the rest:

Those were good links. Here's the syntax I've been using. See anything wrong
with it?
cmdString = path & "\\reports\\eMessage.txt"
& " -to " & getText(emailAddressId)
& " -q"
& " -sf " & path&"\\reports\\eSubject.txt"
& " -attach " & path&"\\reports\\eDocument.txt"
& " -f " & userEmailAddress
& " -u " & userEmailAddress
& " -pw " & userPassWord
rc = sendBlat(cmdString)

Looks fine to me, but I'm no expert. Maybe this particular server requires
another switch. Look here for hints: http://www.blat.net/syntax/syntax.html
Otherwise, I'd check with the Yahoo Blat user group.

CK what worked was to leave off the -u and -pw which is stupid but it works
with this paritcular smpt server.

Well, CK this trick stopped working also. So we solved the problem by
changing ISP companies. Went to bellsouth and all is working as it should
at this time. Geez what a waste of time, 3-4 days trying to find what was
wrong.
