Do you use any Exchanges features? Or is it just acting as a mail server? If so, you bought a really expensive mail server (ie: there are just as good, if not far better mail servers available cheaper than Exchange... many are free!). Of course, if you use Exchange's other features, like calendaring and junk like that, then that is a different story. >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. I assumed you were going thru some kind of a provider or IT department and not running this on your own (your first email said you were forced to migrate to Exchange, so I took that as someone else was in control of the mail server). How do Outlook users connect from outside the network? Can they connect from home? Or is their no outside server access? I tried to telnet to smtp.pecandeluxe.com but I got no response (it did resolve an IP address however, so something else may have been blocking the reply). >So, I'm guessing in your little "hack" of [EMAIL PROTECTED], the SMTP Auth is >reading from the Email account string?

What may be more likely is that your server doesn't support the Auth type I've put into Emailer. I'd be able to check that if I could telnet to your mail server. If you want to do that for me, all you need to do is telnet to the SMTP server (port 25) and send the command "EHLO pecandeluxe.com". The server should reply with a banner message, one of the lines should say "AUTH" and list some types (Plain, Login, CRAM-MD5, Kerberos, etc). It needs to list "Login" as one of the types. If it doesn't, the current hacked version of Emailer won't work. If it doesn't, but it DOES list "Plain" as one of the types... I'm currently working on a version that does that type (I'm having a problem creating the correct string, if anyone is a decent C++ programmer, contact me). As soon as I get it working, you are welcome to a copy of that version. If it doesn't list Plain or Login, then you are probably out of luck unless you can disable SMTP Auth entirely and go with another auth method (like IP authentication or POP Auth). >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.

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. I was able to telnet to your bigbrother.pecandeluxe.com server, and it doesn't look like it support SMTP Auth at all (at least it doesn't advertise that it does, and it actually refuses the EHLO command, which means it claims it doesn't support extended SMTP commands, which means it shouldn't support SMTP Auth either which is part of extended SMTP). It does reply to the older HELO command. This means the SMTP Auth hacked version should NOT work with your backup mail server. Try the regular version and see if that works. Oh, that reminds me... when did you get the SMTP Hacked version of Emailer? The first release I did I forgot to change the HELO to EHLO. Some mail servers will disable extended SMTP commands if the HELO command is issued instead of EHLO. Exchange may in fact support the SMTP Auth hacked version of emailer, but is refusing the AUTH command. If you have the original release you are sending the wrong opening command. Redownload it from my web site <www.mythtech.net/SMTP_AUTH_Login.sit> and see if the problem goes away. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
