67583 - SMTP doesn't fall back to HELO if auth enabled

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: SMTP, defect)

Description

[John G. Myers]

In the case of either PREF_AUTH_ANY or PREF_AUTH_LOGIN, the SMTP client will 
send the message without authenticating if the server doesn't support SMTP 
authentication.  If, however, the server doesn't support EHLO, the code will 
inexplicably refuse to fall back to HELO.

Also, the cases PREF_AUTH_ANY and PREF_AUTH_LOGIN are identical.  
PREF_AUTH_LOGIN cannot be set through the preferences panel.  The two options 
should be combined to one.
