criticisms (made presumably in 1999), were correct. In 2005, SMTP AUTH is basically dead. There hasn't been a new mail client supporting SMTP AUTH in many years. What would be the point?
There's almost no new car companies supporting seat belts too. It's hard to get new ones when it's near 100% support. (Who *doesn't* support SMTP AUTH? Are there any major or even minor players that don't? Heck, even the now-venerable 'nmh' descendant of MH will do SASL auth for you....) But as long as we're playing: Evolution and Mozilla's mail client are both fairly newcomers, and both do SMTP AUTH....
