Wow! Such swift and helpful response! Many thanks!
Your patch certainly gets me past that hurdle, and I would like to say
that all is now sweetness and light, but alas post now runs on to say
post: problem initializing server; [BHST] SASL client start failed:
SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found
and I'm flumoxed as to what that means. What constitutes worthiness
here? What is it really trying to tell me? Again, I've tried using
"-sasslmech LOGIN" and omitting -saslmech entirely as obvious
alternatives to forcing PLAIN, but it made no difference. I am still
trying to ferret it out for myself, but time is a problem and I didn't
want to keep you in suspense wrt your patch. Any hint would be more
than welcome.
I did btw peer into the code of claws, and it looks on first sight as
though AUTH= is treated the same way as "AUTH ", and as though it were
just an addition to any subsequent AUTH list. In fact it summarily
treats AUTH<anychar> the same, simply moving its pointer past whatever
it may be, and ORing together multiple AUTHs. Your fix seems equally
reasonable, possibly rather less fraught.

So, try the following patch. It worked for me when I tested it against
your SMTP server (well, I don't have an account there, but with this
patch it was able to successfully use the PLAIN mechanism).
