We had a lot of problems using Authentication; iMail would have to be
restarted constantly. We finally gave up and went to "Relay for Local
Hosts". Which isn't a perfect solution - clients can't send mail from their
sites if not on our iMail server. But at least the server is now stable.
We're running 6.05, but have heard that the Authentication problem has been
fixed in the current version. Anyone having problems with Authentication on
the current release, or is it working now? Of course, we're not eager to
change again; we've had clients switch it on and then back off already!
