I used Frank's telnet.r and changed the port to 25, and got this

Script: "Telnet protcol scheme" (6-Jul-2001/17:51) telnet protocol loaded

So, you can see that Yahoo does not support CRAM-MD5 authentication. I suggest that esmtp be fixed to send a "EHLO" greeting instead of the "HELO", and then parse the response to determine what authentication schemes are supported, and then use one that Rebol also supports. -- Graham Chiu http://www.compkarori.com/cerebrus http://www.compkarori.com/rebolml
