I changed this to:
         server_secret = ${lookup mysql{select cpassword from users where username='${quote_mysql:$1}'}{$value}fail}
and it works. I actually had two problems - one with the quote_mysql and
the other was that I needed to use the cleartext password instead of
the crypted version.


I still don't know why netscape on the mac strips the domain name from
the account name used in SMTP AUTH.
