Thank you

 For the login to your email sever, the password is encoded in base64 form (actually not really secure). Somehow your server does not support this. Unfortunately I cannot test this without access to your server. But you can try yourself by doing a telnet to your mail server like:

$ telnet <server.domanin> 25

...

$ AUTH PLAIN

With the "plain" method, you should be able to enter your password in plain text (not base64 encoded), and see if that works. If you are successful, I can add this option to elog.

Best,

Stefan
