Subject: Net::SMTP force SASL AUTH mechanism selection
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2015 21:50:18 +0200
To: bug-libnet [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Jan Viktorin <viktorin [...] rehivetech.com>
I encountered a problem with git send-email (that utilizes the Net::SMTP module). I was unable to send e-mail through my e-mail provider because of some issue in Digest-MD5 mechanism. It is not clear to me, whether the problem is in libnet or on the server. However, when I forced CRAM-MD5, I was able to send patches out. I had to temporarily rename the DIGEST_MD5.pm file so the SASL library did not find it... It seems to me (I don't understand Perl very much) that the Net::SMTP module does not allow to force using a certain mechanism or ban some of them. SASL module has this possibility in the constructor. -- Jan Viktorin E-mail: Viktorin@RehiveTech.com System Architect Web: www.RehiveTech.com RehiveTech Brno, Czech Republic

After more investigation, I've discovered, that it is possible to pass a SASL instance as username. This solves the problem below. However, it is not mentioned in the docs. I've attached a patch.
