Dear list, After lotsa testing I still have problem connecting to a Windows NTMail server that I want to use as mail relay since I am on a dynamic IP.
When connecting to the server it announces ESMTP support. My Exim 4.44 sends the EHLO string and its name. Server responds with a bunch of 250's among those AUTH LOGIN. My Exim returns the AUTH LOGIN and server replies with 334 and base64 encoded "Username:". My Exim sends in the base-64 encoded username and the server replies ith 334 and base-64 encoded "Password:" which is properly returned by Exim. After a while server responds with "535 5.7.8 Authorisation attempt failed.". Everything seems fine as far as I understand from specs etc, the username/pw is simply not accepted. The username and pw is what we agreed and it works for retrieveing mail from the very same server so I recon it's correct. I've also tried different combinations to no avail. I am running low on ideas now, is there anybody with experience of connecting Wxim to NTMail (nowadays Gordano Mail server) or any other general trouble shooting ideas? I have broadminded tried to figure out what can be wrong but since it works to pop mail from the same server, so the username and pw is probably correct. I've cross-checked the base-64 strings and dumped the IP-packets as well to ensure that what I see in the log is really sent to the server. I've also tried sending the strings manually to see the actual response from the server but it's the same as I found in the log and in the TCP/IP-traces. After all, SMTP isn't exactly rocket science so it shouldn't be that difficult ;-) Any ideas? TIA /c __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
