Well, the catastrophic thing about 1.6 is that CRAM-MD5 auth fails with
3 of the largest email service providers (their faults, but still...) in
Italy (virgilio.it, poste.it and email.it), the first being also the
largest ISP... The bug has already been fixed in 1.7a (231303). At least
some sort of advice in the rel notes would be useful.
Cheers, Giacomo.
