Both the mail module share the same code. We dont support CRAM-MD5 authentication as of now.

Ihave made a generic account on the domain and I am using that instead. It works fine this way, thanks for your assistance.

I found these:

.. looks to me like like CRAM-MD5 is only used by LDAP enabled mail servers (and depreciated actually)! 

Do you use the e-mail functionality of the Backup Tool? If yes try not to! Can you configure the mailaccount(s) used with the job not to use/demand CRAM-MD5 authentication? Also can you tell from where the demand for CRAM-MD5 comes?  The mail-server at an ISP? A corporate mailserver? a mail-client?

Them mail server is MS Exchange.. most recent version (2000 maybe) Corporate mail server.

I can set it up to use my domainuser password for SMTP authentication, althought the password is saved in plain text in the job.xml file, this works fine. I was attempting to not use authentication to preserve the security of my domain info, our mail relay servers allow anonymous users based on the hostname that the origination of the request. I think those relay servers are Linux.

Is there a way to encrypt my password in the xml file? This would solve the problem.
