   <title>If one sets Mailer / SMTP authentication to &quot;Best available </title> 
   <description>If one sets Mailer / SMTP authentication to &quot;Best available authentication&quot; in the admin web interface, this sets the option to the string &#039;1&#039;. But this instructs Mail_smtp to instruct Net_SMTP to use authentication method &#039;1&#039; only, not PLAIN/LOGIN/CRAM-MD5/... whatever the server supports. Indeed, abstract from Mail_smtp:



        if ($this-&gt;auth) {

            $method = is_string($this-&gt;auth) ? $this-&gt;auth : &#039;&#039;;



The &quot;best available authentication&quot; enum choice needs to set the option to the boolean true, or the integer 1, or any other non-string value that is not the boolean false.

   <description>Fixed in CVS. Horde_Config is smart enough to convert literal &quot;false&quot; and &quot;true&quot; strings to PHP boolean scalars.</description>
