Here is a snippet of my  mail log.  In the very likely chance that I geeked
up the install config, I am rebuilding all from scratch now that I'm a bit
more familiar with the entire setup.  Maybe this will fix the problem.

Good Question. I doubt they are though.  But if ESMTP uses the same
authentication as IMAP and POP3, it shouldn't be a problem, because they are
both working fine against the LDAP server.

Okay. Gotcha.

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully redoing it all will fix my ESMTP
problems.
