Hi,

I was wrong about the password length limitation.

Some passwords are not making it through the setup.

I captured the communications to show the problem.

using password Abcdefgh99 the log shows the following 
communications.


220 sys58.mail.msu.edu ESMTP Exim 4.75 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:51:00 -0400
EHLO localhost
250-sys58.mail.msu.edu Hello eshop1.pa.msu.edu [35.9.69.81]
250-SIZE 78643200
250-PIPELINING
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250 HELP
AUTH LOGIN
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
dGlnbmVy
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
QWJjZGVmZ2g5OQ==
535 Incorrect authentication data

Using password Sherlock99 the log shows that the
communications is missing or has a blank password.

220 sys01.mail.msu.edu ESMTP Exim 4.75 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:54:03 -0400
EHLO localhost
250-sys01.mail.msu.edu Hello eshop1.pa.msu.edu [35.9.69.81]
250-SIZE 78643200
250-PIPELINING

535 Incorrect authentication data


You notice that just above the line

"535 Incorrect authentication data"

The first log shows a successfully base64 encoded
password, but the 2nd log shows a blank line.
Maybe this problem is in the xsane-setup.c file.
I will look at it when I have more time, but 
perhaps someone on the development team can spot
the problem sooner than I could.

thanks !

Barry
