I'm not familiar with the SASL RFC, but I'll guess that's an encrypted
user/password challenge. You should be able to find the RFC handily at
http://rfc-editor.org/ and verify that this output looks reasonable.
The rest of the dialog is documented by RFC 2821[1].

Perhaps the login and password on mail.gmx.net isn't what you think it
is?

Anyone out there using SASL with MH who can verify that it's actually
working?
