@Neustradamus What is the context for this request?

Do you use the plugins from this project in your environment?

[Neustradamus]

@atc0005: Several mailservers use SCRAM and it is secure.
Not like PLAIN/CRAM-MD5/DIGEST-MD5.

[atc0005]

Thanks for the feedback.

At the moment my time on this project is mostly "maintenance mode": I'll work towards fixing reported bugs or updating dependencies as needed.

If you use the plugin from this project please feel free to open a discussion or file a bug report for issues that you encounter.

If you submit a PR to add support please tag me and I'll take a look.
