Re: [GSoC PATCH v2 1/1] improve smtp authentication error handling logic
Hi everyone,
I am a new contributor; please forgive my mistake. I mistakenly released the v2 patch without any code changes. Please disregard this version and avoid reverting based on it. I will release a corrected patch with the intended updates shortly.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Best regards, Zheng Yuting
