N95Qmail

Introduction
12/2008 I spent waaay too much time figuring out how to use my n95 against a gentoo qmail install. Maybe this will help someone.

Cut to the chase: the Fix
disable auth cram in qmail use settings:

/etc/portage/package.use mail-mta/netqmail ssl qmail-spp noauthcram

emerge -av netqmail should appear thusly: mail-mta/netqmail-1.05-r8 USE="noauthcram qmail-spp ssl -gencertdaily -highvolume -mailwrapper -vanilla" 0 kB

Symptoms
Authentication from a nokia n95 to qmail would attempt to use cram auth, then fail even with a valid username/password tested through other clients/protocols, etc. This script was a lifesaver: smtp-client.pl

As was this command line step by step: qmail/auth command line tutorial
