The a option increases the checks SASL performs to detect active authentication attacks. SASL is used in a variety of situations. In some applications, higher security is worth the cost in increased processing and authentication delays. Normally, that is not the case for email. Mail hosts are authenticating to prevent spammers from relaying through your server. Spammers do not spend the time and money to launch active authentication attacks against servers that use strong authentication. " anyway thanks for the help. other ideeas? Alex
