The response from the server when Dave tried not authenticating already told us
that you *must* authenticate:

Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x82ccfac)<<< 530 authentication required

So are you suggesting that Dave try to authenticate with a method not from the
list?

You will notice that "250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN XYMCOOKIE" and "530
authentication required" are not the same message.

The fist means "This server supports the following authentication
methods and you can authenticate yourself using any of them". It doesn't
say that authentication is required, only that it is possible. It may be
the case the authentication is required for some specific operations,
but again, this message doesn't tell you for which. (as a bit of
anectotal evidence, in late 2005 I was collecting statistics about ESMTP
extensions: AUTH was announced by 50 % of the MXs we were sending mail
to - but we could send mail to them just fine, no authentication was
required).

The second message means: "authentication is required for this specific
operation" (probably a RCPT command). This one says that you *must*
authenticate, and the earlier response to EHLO told you which methods
you *can* use.


> So are you suggesting that Dave try to authenticate with a method not from the

No. I wasn't suggesting anything to the OP, I was just correcting your
mistaken statement about what the response to EHLO means.

(In fact I haven't seen anything from the OP that indicates that he
tried to authenticate at all, so I'd suggest that he try to authenticate
using a method from the list, but maybe I missed a posting)

What script are you talking about? I haven't seen any code in the
messages you have posted so far.
