Bug Description
Binary package hint: sendemail
When using sendEmail -o tls=auto to connect to a postfix server, it may fails if username and password are very long:
base64_encode() wraps lines using CRLF but postfix AUTH PLAIN is waiting for unwrapped lines.
Postfix outputs an error message like:
ERROR => Received: 535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: bad protocol / cancel
This issue was reported to sendEmail maintainer on 2008/10/14, though no new release including the fix was made for now.
Here is a patch that fixes this issue.
