Hi all, I've been trying to get my home linux box to send e-mail to a smarthost that is using SMTP AUTH. I've followed the various howto's that I found through google, but I'm still getting authentication rejections from the remote mail server. I know that the username and password are correct because Outlook 2003 on my work laptop will send mail through this host with no problem. Any clues are greatly appreciated.
When I telnet to the server here's the capabilities that it reports: 220 mail.hansoninfosys.com ESMTP EHLO dummy 250-mail.hansoninfosys.com 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME Here is the corresponding log information.
