With respect, if you don't understand the documentation, perhaps a
little background research to enable you to understand it might not go
amiss. Floundering with prescriptions you don't understand usually
wastes a lot of time.
Having said that, the documentation does, give explicit examples of
configuring clients for AUTH, namely, the following authenticators:
fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = "^ph10^secret"
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": ph10 : secret"
fixed_cram:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = ph10
client_secret = secret
I can't tell you which ones of these to use, because you have not told
us which authentication method your smart host is using. I suppose you
could just put in all three and see what works.
