title: smtp server returns no auth methods
body: <p>I am trying to set up my university smtp server with wanderlust/emacs, and on getting a repeated error decided to have a look via telnet.</p>
  
  <p>the only trouble is, knowing next to nothing about smtp, I can't understand the output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>telnet pod51016.outlook.com 587
  Trying 157.56.253.22...
  Connected to pod51031.outlook.com.
  Escape character is '^]'.

  <p>I had expected to see an auth line as <code>250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN</code> --- II am  just missing something? How do I see what authentication the server supports?</p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, I have it working with thunderbird, so if anyone knows how to extract it from prefs.js that would do.</p>
  
  <p>many thanks, and apologies for the lack of specificity in the question,</p>
