Hi
This
may be off topic just a bit but since there seems to be a wide range of
expertise on this forum I thought I would try.
I have
a user who is using Eudora 5.x as his mail client, he has SMTP
authentication selected in the program. He has the correct user name
and password. When he tries to send mail outside our domain his mail is
being rejected. The following is a snippet from the log files

The
computer sending the mail is running Windows 2000 Professional, his computer
name is NM_SREED, he is a stand alone unit not connected to any type of
Microsoft or Novell Network.
What's
puzzling me is why his account is not being authenticated. I can log into
the Web interface and send mail out of the companies domains without any
problem.
There
are other users who use Eudora with W2K without this issues.
Any
ideas/insight into this would be appreciated.
Regards,
James
