Yeah it looks to me like you are getting a failure when you are trying t send to the sourceforge mail list. It looks like their mail server is configured to NOT allow null senders, so you'll need to include your from email address. That's a setting in your MUA (the mail client program that you're

I think I found the same thing that you are experiencing. If you require smtp authentication and you have more than one domain defined, then you always have to specify full [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the username for smpt authentication even for the domain defined as the default pop3 domain. When I

When you perform the test, you have to tell the test email to send to an email address that is NOT handled by the server you are testing. If you register at abuse.net, there is a check box i think to have them generate an email address to use for the test. it will still send the results to the

Try unchecking the option to login using Secure Password Authentication. I believe OL XP supports APOP, but OL 2000 does not. If that doesn't help, try specifying the full email address for the user name: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't see why that one would be different between 2000 and XP, so I

Are you sure it's an outlook issue and not just a general networking issue? Can those machines telnet to the mail server over port 110 using the same hostname as specified in the pop3 server settings of outlook? use these commands: TELNET hostname.com 110 USER username PASS password STAT QUIT

First place to look is in the headers of one of those messages received. Look at the received date/time and see what server the mail is getting delayed at. If it's waiting at the sending server, it could be just temporary issues. If this is a new dns entry, it may not have been propated when the

If the local server is the only one that should be allowed to relay without a password authentication, set up this file: smtprelay.tab 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 This will allow the localhost to relay without authentication. If you already have settings in that file, try just adding that line

Is there a setting to lock out an IP address after a number of consecutive failed logins? Someone was trying to guess passwords on my server last week (unsuccessfully). When I went through the logs I saw 150 attempts in about a 1 minute time span to guess the passwords. It tried 10 different
