problems with mailfron smtp authentication.

Hi everybody. 

this is my first encounter with mailfront, tho I've worked with qmail a
number of times. 

In this instance I'm using SME server from crontibs.org with the secure
email add-on that I found at
http://www.azurlinux.com/files/e-smith/contrib/6.0/rpm/SecureMail/

When I send the authentication details via smtp I get : 

501: Could not decode the response

I'm not sure where this comes in and searching google has not given me
any answers.

can anybody help me shed some light on the problem. 

thanks
