Re[3]: [IMail Forum] SMTP AUTH Serious Problems

[Len Conrad]

Authenticate  seems to happen

wait a minute, it either does or doesn't happen.

 but when it does not see the destination
domain   in   HOSTS   it   fails   then   gives,   in  this  instance,
'yasmine-bleeth.com  not a gateway' error... Shouldn't it override the
HOSTS if SMTP AUTH was successful?

of course.

This log line means that NO SMTP AUTH has been attempted.

Here's what you are looking for when searching for SMTP AUTH attempts + success/fail, as seen from Eudora's log sending to Imail:

580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "220 X1 NT-ESMTP Server ms1.meiway.com (IMail 6.06 20774-1)\r\n"
580 32:0.0 Sent: "EHLO tx0-go2france-c.Go2France.com\r\n"
580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "250-ms1.meiway.com says hello\r\n"
580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "250-SIZE 0\r\n"
580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "250-8BITMIME\r\n"

580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5\r\n"
580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "250-AUTH=LOGIN\r\n"
580 64:0.0 Rcvd: "250 EXPN\r\n"
580 32:0.0 Sent: "AUTH CRAM-MD5\r\n"

580 32:0.0 Sent: "TENvbnJhZEBUxMzBkODg4YWZjMTZhNmIxYmE3ZmQ2\r\n"
580 64:0.1 Rcvd: "235 authenticated\r\n"

you can see the SMTP AUTH occurs before MAIL FROM:

The Imail snippet you showed had no SMTP AUTH attempt. the client is failing to initiate it. fix the client, not Imail.

here's the key imail log line to look for:

01:11 00:25 SMTPD(000000B2) Authenticated [EMAIL PROTECTED], session treated as local.
