smtp_auth

Is there a way i can check to see if i actually install a smtpd-auth patch ?

i -THINK- i installed
http://www.bsdguides.org/downloads/f...tpd-auth.patch
but when i try to get mail on the account, i get "-ERR Authentication
failed"

i noticed when i was reading, everyone that was having problems with the
smtpd-auth patch was getting the error "535 authorization failed (#5.7.0)"
while everyone that was just having problems getting mail had the error I
had.

when i telnet to 110 on the mail server, i do
name username
+OK
pass mypass
-ERR authentication failed

while other people with smtpd-auth patch get stuff like..
220 buffoon.automagic.org ESMTP
ehlo
250-buffoon.automagic.org
250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
auth login
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
jabley
334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6
testing
535 authorization failed (#5.7.0)
quit
221 buffoon.automagic.org


thanks for your suggestions.
BTW: freebsd 5.3 (stable) with qmail from ports installed
