David,
This is almost certainly a manifestation of a known problem. Certain mail clients present the challenge-string as part of their AUTH LOGIN command (i.e. Netscape Messenger). Others (like Microsoft Outlook on Windows) do not. James handles the latter clients correctly, but fails to handle the first case. See bug #6340 in the Apache Bug Database for further details. Anyway, that's my suspicion. --Peter -----Original Message----- From: David Rodal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 4:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Question about SMTP AUTH and mozilla and apple mail We have a james server running on our system. We turned on SMTP AUTH My friend can connect over the internet with his windows 98 machine with MS outlook. it work just fine. It takes his name and address everything works. NOW When I try to connect with mozilla 1.0 or Apple mail on OSX Or mozilla running under linux and none of them will do the auth, and send the mail. They all complain about needing auth, or in the case of mozilla, they just keep asking for the password. I even tried outlook express under mac os 9.2. no such luck. I looked in the james-user archive and couldn't find anything about this. Am I doing something wrong? Is smtp auth different on different platforms? Help....
