Chris, Check out the beta version of the 2.1 documentation at http://jakarta.apache.org/~pgoldstein/documentation_2_1.html
I would also strongly advise that you use the 2.1 release candidate rather than 2.0a3. There were quite a few bugs fixed in 2.1. See the changelog for details. As far as your particular problem goes, I assume you've done the obvious and made sure that the user id and password are correct. From your description, the user id should be "test". The password is whatever you set it up to be when you added the user through the RemoteManager. --Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: chris.schild [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 9:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Installation and Authentication problems > > Howdy All, > Newbie here needing some basic/dummy advice on JAMES.... > The server appears to be up and running but I am receiving an > authentication > failed error.... > > Everything appears to be fine until I try to send. > Application file:/C:/Apache/james-2.0a3/apps/james.sar uses a deprecated > packaging format. > James 2.0a3-cvs > Started POP3 Server plain:110 > Started SMTP Server plain:25 > Started NNTP Server plain:119 > > I've signed on a root/root and added users with the JAMES > RemoteAdministration Tool 2.0a3-cvs. I configured both James & outlook on > localhost as test@localhost. > > The error on Outlook Express 6 is: > There was a problem logging onto your mail server.
