My example wasn't really relevant to your needs as I wasn't paying attention to the fact that you have a '/' in your user name. > My Mutt was compiled with SASL so I'm not sure what's going wrong. > > I've also tried using %2f instead of the / character, and I get: > > SMTP session failed: 550 Bad To: domain You need to verify that you can authenticate manually to the SMTP daemon. If you know then that your username, password and port # are correct then you need to look at the specifics of mutt when it tries to authenticate. Unfortunately, if you are using smtps: (think SSL), which one should when sending a cleartext password over the network, this makes using a network snoop/tcpdump capture difficult because all the data is encrypted. Maybe mutt has some way of turning on a verbose mode when it's authenticating to the SMTP daemon? -- Will Fiveash
