Re: [exim] TLS SASL authentiation error 535

The phone added the space. The on-screen keyboard does it automatically
after each word and it took the long password as a "word". Normally I
don't notice because I'm typing actual words. :)

In my case the password is very long so the total number of dots are
much wider than the password text box which makes it harder to notice
the password has an extra character. But it's fixed now and everything
is happy again. I do appreciate learning about some of the information
in the debugging data. Until this thread I didn't know that the
password is base64 encoded in the AUTH PLAIN debug output (before it's
printed as plain text in $auth3 otherwise). I assumed it was a hashed
string so I didn't expect it to match every time.
