Alex,
Thank you. Do you know where I could get info on how to configure the
POP-before-SMTP solution? I am running sendmail.
I can both POP and SMTP on the LAN but someone coming in outside the lan
fails......is this sheds any further light on my problem.
I'd urge you to first try to implement SMTP AUTH. While the smtp-after-pop
approach does function, users do not "get it" very well, and you'll get
lots of support calls. Based on your error message in your original
posting, your users are using Outlook or Outlook Express. Both support SMTP
AUTH just fine, so use it! You turn it on by clicking a check box on the
Servers config tab that says "my server requires authentication." The
default settings work.
Thanks Again.
Don
