This took me a while to figure out. But smtp.pm does not offer support for AUTH, I wish it did. However I have created a sockets version that has the auth command programed in. My QUESTION, how do I create the encrypted user and pass, below is a copy of outlooks communication with my server(Pass changed for safety).

I have tried crypt::MD5 and digest::MD5 both create a encryption to long. Anyone know what I can do?

Thanks
