Hi,

since 1.5.22-r1 or so I often get "SASL authentication failed" when sending mails via SMTP (remote). Nothing to see in the mail log on the remote side and just restarting mutt solves that again. It doesn't even ask for a password when it fails. It looks like it is related to a patch that made it into -r1 or so. I don't recall whether 1.5.22 worked or not.
Can anybody else confirm that?

are you using gnutls?  You might be bitten by http://prefix.gentooexperimental.org/hg/mutt/rev/4dde4bcda519 perhaps.

It seems to be indeed gnutls related. Trying without gnutls now and it seems to work fine as before.

Ok, it's not gnutls related. It still happens with -gnutls. :(
