Welcome to my hell!!!!
Wasn't it chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] who once said...
>>Email account: pecandeluxe/Doug Starkey/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

>That whole string is your username?!? EEEK... yeah, that might be the

Ok, now let's understand a few things about that Email account string. I
came up with that as a way to connect with the server. We are dealing
with the "dual-worlds" of Active Directory & Exchange. In Active
Directory, my account is "Doug Starkey". Exchange is RULED by Active
Directory. So, in my Active Directory account there exists a tab called
"Email Addresses". And in there I have an entry: "SMTP
[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
The Email account string was something I kludged together as we were
trying to get POP to work. It is basically the following structure,
"Active Directory domain/User name/Email [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
I will agree... it's ugly... but it works when NOTHING else would!
As for who "set up" this mess... you can talk to me. Although I had help
from and "Exchange expert", their background is with PC's not Macs.
Exchange is working great for everyone using Outlook 2003. And I can even
use it decently with Entourage 2004. I'd just like to make it work with
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The spaces in the name, as noted above, are to deal with Active
Directory... not Exchange.
>Can you confirm that "pecandeluxe/Doug Starkey/doug_starkey" is really
>your username. What directions do they provide for setting up Mail or
>Outlook or Entourage? (and do those even allow a space in the username?!?)
What directions do "who" provide? In Outlook 2003 when they log onto
their computer, they are logging into the Active Directory domain. That
links them to their Exchange mailbox... end of discussion.
Entourage was a little trickier but essentially the same as what I'm
doing in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Account ID: pecandeluxe/doug starkey/doug_starkey
I don't have to include the "@pecandeluxe.com" in Entourage because it
apparently "gets" that that is my "internet" domain.
So, I'm guessing in your little "hack" of [EMAIL PROTECTED], the SMTP Auth is
reading from the Email account string? I could see where that is causing
problems.
But the funny thing is that when I try to send using my "backup" server
as the SMTP server, I still get an authentication failure. I did not
think my "backup" server was doing SMTP Auth (other than checking valid
IP's to prevent relays). If it is and it is receiving "pecandeluxe/doug
starkey/doug_starkey" as the account, then that could be where my problem
is on that end.
Hope this clarifies my situation. And maybe gives somebody some clues as
to how to help me.
Thanks!
