[Users] failed SMTP auth does not ask for new password

[Olaf Hering]

While trying to send an email I entered the wrong SMTP password. In the logs I see the 501 response from the server. When I try to send the message again CM will reuse the existing password, instead of asking for a new one. Is there any code in CM which would ask for a new password? If so, perhaps the "failed auth" response is not parsed properly.

I noticed my provider responds with 535, as shown below, and CM recognizes that a different password is needed.
