Yep - possibly until someone's keen to try to set up a workable
bugtracker again. I suppose there's gitlab?

I take it that the general issue is that IMAP logins work fine to
motsugo?; but SMTP AUTH (sending mail) to mooneye fails, with the same
configured username:password?

What exact time were these tests taken? or can you find the matching
mooneye:/var/log/mail.log entries for the mooneye server side? I'm not
finding it with the string "tranquility".

Another good test tool is:
