We did this and had a major problem.

We first tested this of course and did not see any problems. But when we
required thousands of users to do this, there was a huge problem. Some
servers worked fine for a while, then crapped out and did not accept
authentication. We would have to restart the SMTP service and it will
authenticate for a while, then crap out again.

On some servers, certain users were never able to authenticate while others
had no problem at the same time.

Most Macintosh users were never able to authenticate.

We have v5, v6, and v7

Hi All,

    We're getting ready to close our open relay and have run into some
problems.  If I set "My server requires authentication" to on, and set the
settings to "Use same setting as my incoming mail server" I can't send mail,
it always refuses either the login name or password.  I'm running:

Win2K Advanced with SP2
Imail 6.06

The main database is the Imail DB, one host uses SQL.  I thought it was
because of the SQL, but it's also happening to hosts that use the Imail DB.
What am I missing, any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike Achenbach
