Hi. This might shed some light on the problem or make it even more
confusing.
>From below: My comments in caps.
"When we moved to ODBC our primary domain
accounts authenticated fine but we began
to get calls about password requests for
sending mail and the "not accepting" of those
passwords.
I SEE THIS VERY INFREQUENTLY. IT HAPPENED TODAY. ONLY NETSCAPE; BUT ALL
200 USERS OF NS REPORTED THE PROB....NO ONE ELSE...CLIENT BASE INCLUDES 3000
O2K, OE, ETC.
A VERY SIMPLE, VERY QUICK RESTART OF SMTP SERVICE MAKES IT ALL BETTER NOW.
I AM STILL ON 6.03 WITH THE AUTH PATCH, BUT THIS ALSO HAPPENED BEFORE THE
6.03 AND AUTH PATCH UPDATE.
This has primarily occurred in Netscape 4.6.
ONLY NETSCAPE, BUT ALL NETSCAPE VERSIONS FOR ME
The RC2 of Netscape 6 does not appear to suffer
from the problem. I have also taken a limited
amount of calls from Outlook 2000 users. In each
case it was only the virtual accounts that the
client experienced problems with.
NO VIRTUAL DOMAINS ON MY END
The same
client could send mail through an account
they had on the primary domain.
If we take our primary domain out of ODBC mode
the problem disappears.
I AM NOT USING ODBC
OKAY THEN: no sure if this helps you guys but that is my observation.

Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP Auth problems only in ODBC mode???
Yet another in the long list of SMTP
Auth issues.
Our virtual domains are experiencing the
well publicized SMTP Auth problem.
We are running 6.04 in ODBC mode and
IMail mode. ODBC on our primary domain.
IMail mode on the virtuals.
When we moved to ODBC our primary domain
accounts authenticated fine but we began
to get calls about password requests for
sending mail and the "not accepting" of those
passwords.
This has primarily occurred in Netscape 4.6.
The RC2 of Netscape 6 does not appear to suffer
from the problem. I have also taken a limited
amount of calls from Outlook 2000 users. In each
case it was only the virtual accounts that the
client experienced problems with. The same
client could send mail through an account
they had on the primary domain.
If we take our primary domain out of ODBC mode
the problem disappears.
Any suggestions would be appreciated?
