SMTP authentication not working

[James R. Stevens]

Again, it been some time since our SMTP AUTH project but,
From what I remember the authentication mechanism still reads the
/etc/shadow passwords via PAM. We just had to create the accounts of the
mobile email folks before it would work. I thought of it as a whitelist
of sorts...

More forward in your testing. Change the shadow password via whatever
means you like and see if the SMTP authentication attempts uses the new
password.
