PHP PEAR: Can Net_SMTP use Auth_SASL2?

Question

Normally Auth_SASL is an optional dependency of Net_SMTP in the PEAR module. However, since AUTH_SASL is deprecated in favor of Auth_SASL2, does that imply that AUTH_SASL2 is also an optional dependency of Net_SMTP?

I took a look at the docs here, but it did not provide the information I am looking for.

Answer 1

It looks like there is a separate PEAR package for Net_SMTP2 as well, located here. So, in summary:

• Net_SMTP has a dependency of Auth_SASL
• New_SMTP2 has a dependency of Auth_SASL2
