Hrmm, this does not seem to be the case, or at the very least something is going wrong with the re-negotiation attempt.  Is there some way that I can simply turn off the initial CRAM attempt?  This would 
be very helpful, and I'm certain it would not be difficult for you guys to accomplish.  I am looking to cut over to our new mail servers here within the week, but without PMMail functioning properly this will 
be a very difficult task.

If it helps at all, here is a snippet from my server's maillog when PMMail makes an attempt:

Aug 21 13:25:21 rockhopper courieresmtpd: started,ip=[::ffff:10.0.1.14]
Aug 21 13:25:21 rockhopper courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:10.0.1.14,msg="535 Authentication failed.",cmd: AUTH CRAM-MD5
Aug 21 13:25:29 rockhopper courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:10.0.1.14,msg="535 Authentication required.",cmd: MAIL FROM: <kevin@sargonps.com>
Aug 21 13:25:29 rockhopper courieresmtpd: writev: Connection reset by peer

And when I use Netscape, it works fine, but instead of trying CRAM is simply uses LOGIN, which would be preferable behavior for PMMail in my situation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kevin
