Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Smtp auth still
Good morning and TGIF!
Just wanted to say that I have been getting the posts to this list out
of sequence and I am not ignoring everyone's suggestions, Im just not
getting them in a timely manner.
I have been in touch with the watchguard folks and this seems to be the
problem...
"yes, if you're running the smtp proxy, it does throw away esmtp
commands it doesn't understand"
Ok..don't I wish *I* could just throw away commands I don't understand!
As for me..I'M the one that set up the freaking smtp proxy, I just
wasn't aware it wouldn't play nicely with smtp auth, as I am just now
trying to get this in place.
We are using the smtp proxy on the firewall to strip away exe, vbs and
other unwanted attachments. So, I guess the next question is, is there
software out there, like the Declude type virus software, which will
scan email and strip away those types of attachments, that will work in
front of the mail server but behind the firewall. Until I find something
like that, I can't disable the smtp proxy on the firewall, which means
smtp auth is never going to work for me until Watchguard improves the
proxy.
Thanks for everyone's patience (especially Saint Len), as you all can
probably tell, I am fairly new at this and am pretty much learning as I
go:)

As I showed you in my SMTP dialog trace, the problem is not only SMTP
auth,
but the entire SMTP dialogue. That box must have an SMTP proxy you
need
to dig into.
