WinGate 6.04 don't send authentication to ISP's SMTP server

Jun 20 05 6:29 pm

When I test WinGate 6.0.4(with a trial key) relay Email to ISP's SMTP server by gateway,I have Checked "Server Requires Authentication" box,and filled in username and password correctly,but WinGate 6.0.4 just don't Send authentication to ISP's SMTP server and certainly relay failed.
It didn't work well here. Why WinGate 6.04 don't send EHLO command to ISP's SMTP server firstly and then AUTH command??

Hi,

The server that you're connecting to is not advertising that it supports Extended Helo so we are sending the Helo command. Because of this we're not asking if auth is required.

The server should advertise EHLO support by saying 220 Coremail ESMTP.

We are thinking about ways around this, but you should also talk to the admin for the server that you're trying to connect to.

oh,I see, but mail clients such as OE work well here

I think that OE send Authentication if I have checked "My Server Requires Authentication" ,regardless whatever the server echo.Perhaps
you can find ways to do it more smartly.:)
