Hello,

I'm using StGIT 0.8.1 on top of the latest release of Cogito - in 
.git/stgitrc of a local git repo, I have the following part related to 
my mail configuration:

smtpserver: mail.stormboxes.com:25
smtpuser: username@stormboxes.com
smtppassword: myPassword

(actual username and password redacted, of course) - the point is, the 
username actually is that entire string 'username@stormboxes.com' (no 
quotes) because the box it's on is a virtual server for many domains and 
the usernames must contain the domain to which they belong.  anyway, i 
was getting authentication failures, so i hacked up mail.py and set the 
debug level on the smtp object - i found out that it's trying to auth 
using CRAM-MD5.  And I'm not sure whether the server doesn't support 
that or not, but i didn't see anything in the python doc that would 
indicate that i could make the login() method use auth login or auth 
plain or something else, and it seems like it gets a valid response from 
the server that tells it that the authentication failed - and i'm not 
sure why - thunderbird works fine but i can't figure out which auth type 
it's using. (suppose i could tcpdump it and see) I have, of course, 
triple checked my auth credentials at this point. 

does anyone have any hints or insights, or is this a server 
configuration problem?  any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please 
CC, as I am not subscribed to the git list. 

Thanks,
