The entire message/session is encrypted, including the password, so the login/plain password setting is a little misleading when it says that the password is transmitted insecurely. The cram-md5 authentication method (one of the encrypted password methods) will be removed from the stock QMT at some point in the future. It no longer serves a useful purpose (due to the advent of TLS), and requires that passwords be stored in plain text on the server, which is undesirable from a security standpoint. -- -Eric 'shubes' - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com

Ron I re read the link you sent Ron and double checked ownership and permissions and bingo. There was the problem. Made the cahnges and now it works as expected.
