Subject: Re: 500 No such user on AUTH LOGIN
I encountered this same authentication problem with version 931 built via easy-install.  I think the problem is with
citadel/modules/smtp/serv_smtp.c where smtp_get_user(5) is called in smtp_command_loop.  From this context, the offset
parameter 5 should be replaced by zero (0).  I modified the easy-install script to work with a patched copy of the tarball and
the resulting build seems to work correctly.
