I'm not sure why you would be getting AUTH errors unless you had configured SMTP AUTH on the box. If you had done that, I would have to ask why.... Unless you are pumping all outbound mail through a provider which requires SMTP AUTH (like Yahoo.com) then I don't see a whole lot of use for SMTP AUTH. If you are attempting to establish email communication in which one or both parties are identified, I would recommend using SMTP STARTTLS using CERTS and a CA, which will provide both encryption as well as positive ID. If you are working AROUND something, then you'll have to dig deeper in the SMTP AUTH manual to only use SMTP AUTH for specific sites, which I have no knowledge about. Good luck!
