My apologies, I didn't read the previous log carefully.

Do you know which SASL mechanism was in use? There are many known
interoperability problems with DIGEST-MD5 (in fact, the IETF has taken
the unusual step of deprecating it even before they have developed a
replacement), but SASL PLAIN over TLS should work.

Clearly, that is sub-optimal. :)

Have you posted to the djabberd list about this? Also, have you tested
with any other XMPP servers, such as ejabberd, jabberd 1.x, jabberd 2.x,
Openfire, or Tigase? I have not seen problems with Pidgin or Adium
logins at the jabber.org service (running ejabberd 1.1.3), which I help
to administer, nor have I heard about problems with other services
running on the open Internet. Therefore I suspect that the problem may
lie with djabberd.
