Package: cyrus-clients-2.2
Version: 2.2.13-14+lenny3
Severity: normal

If the "smtptest" tool is used to test SMTP AUTH but the 
"libsasl2-modules" package is not installed on the _client_ side, it 
fails to understand the valid server prompt for SMTP AUTH:


> # smtptest -u [username] -a [authname] -p 465 -s colossus.bilow.com
> verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
> verify error:num=27:certificate not trusted
> verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate
> TLS connection established: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA 
> (256/256 bits)
> S: 220 colossus.bilow.com ESMTP Exim 4.69 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:36:27 -0400
> C: EHLO example.com
> S: 250-colossus.bilow.com Hello wsip-72-215-51-24.ri.ri.cox.net 
> [72.215.51.24]
> S: 250-SIZE 52428800
> S: 250-PIPELINING
> S: 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
> S: 250 HELP
> Authentication failed. no mechanism available
> Security strength factor: 256
> QUIT
> 221 colossus.bilow.com closing connection
> Connection closed.


Once the "libsasl2-modules" package is installed on the client side, 
this works correctly.
