Plain login throwing "Unsupported Authentication Type" #15

@AvrumFeldman

Description

@AvrumFeldman

I'm trying to intercept a email to see the sender and recipient, but the application is throwing an error that the authentication type is unsupported, even though it's using plain login.

Command used to start the application

sudo MITMsmtp --server_address 192.168.4.178 --port 587 --print-lines

See console output
