Re: smtp authenticating as "plain"



Hi,

Is mutt sending my password as plain text over the internet? I'm using ssl with my smtp, as in "set smtp_url=smtps://mail.mydomain.com". So I'm a bit concerned here that it's not working right.

IIRC mutt uses SASL for SMTP AUTH and I also think it negotiates and sets up SSL encryption before attempting authentication. Please see $smtp_authenticators for details.
