    We are using a mailflow as follows from our [ERP-System] --> [Domino Server 14.0] --> [smtp.office365.com] and use Basic Authentication with username and password. This has been working without any problems for several years.

    Now with the recent announcement for the retirement of Microsoft Basic Authentication for relay of e-mails in favour of OAUTH 2 as described in the Microsoft Note https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/exchange-online-to-retire-basic-auth-for-client-submission-smtp-auth/4114750.

    We need to be able to continue relaying e-mails but we can't - this is a show-stopper for us. Here I think HCL needs to put efforts in a solution for this oncoming scenario that can be managed in the Administrator Client or a bolt-on separate process that runs on the server catering for e-mail relay to office365.

    Modern authentication methods is becoming a standard these days. Other vendors have all kind of methods to authenticate so we also need to have these options if we need to stay competitive.
