Hi,
I've made a patch ( attached ) for exim-4.12 in case it might be helpful.
Best

Hi,
I'm using exim-4.12 on both Linux and FreeBSD.
It seems that as clients MTAs based on cyrus-sasl library send:
AUTH LOGIN =
instead of:
AUTH LOGIN
( At least the sendmail in RedHat 8.0 behaves so. )
The "=" is treated by exim as $1 that is of zero length, but it should
be ignored so that the user name will be $1 and the password will be $2.
Since the LOGIN mechanism is not officially documented, I wonder should
this problem be of exim's or of cyrus-sasl's? And will the exim developers
be willing to make exim compatible with such "AUTH LOGIN ="?
And when I enabled only LOGIN mechanism, my mozilla-1.2.1 just ignored
it...and it use PLAIN when I enabled both LOGIN and PLAIN... :-(
