Thanks...
At the present time, my system is authenticated by SASL PLAIN, LOGIN with
STARTTLS. It worked probably. You have advised me to use DIGEST-MD5, and
also I have read some documents and saw that the DIGEST-MD5 is better
recommended.
So... do you think using authenticated by SASL PLAIN, LOGIN with STARTTLS
are more security? Please give me your opinion.
Best Regards,
