The LOGIN authentication mechanism needs TWO pieces of data, the user name and the password, not the three that you have provided. Try client_send = user1 : 1234 It's the PLAIN mechanism that needs three, of which the first is not relevant to SMTP, which is why it is normally empty. If your password really does contain a colon at the end, you'll need client_send = user1 : 1234:: -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England.
