Arno scribbled something like:

>> Yep, I tried that and it does not go anywhere because the relay wants
>> authentication:

Maybe it has to do with a setting you may have accidentally turned on like I
did once and got that particular error.


File: /etc/courier/esmtpd

##NAME: AUTH_REQUIRED:0
#
# Set AUTH_REQUIRED to 1 in order to force the client to use ESMTP
# authentication.  You can override AUTH_REQUIRED on a per-IP address basis
# using smtpaccess.  See makesmtpaccess(8).

AUTH_REQUIRED=0


When I saw that, I misinterpreted it as turning on the need for
authentication to send emails OUT of the machine (a client of the box
authenticates with their user/pass to use the machine as a relay).

Instead it turns on authentication for everything =) Even incoming emails
from outside servers... Which of course those outside servers from the world
have no clue what to use to authenticate (nor would want to set up such a
thing). SO, make sure yours is set to "0" like the above text shows?

That¹s the only idea I have for you.
