thanks Fredrik and others,
seems that it was a simple problem - had to change "localhost" to the actual domain name and now it's working.
was a bit further confused as i have one copy of squirrelmail at /usr/local/squirrelmail (for a cpanel install) and one in /home/accountname/www/squirrelmail to avoid having to be served on cpanels special "webmail" port.
hope this helps someone else.
cheers!

hi folks,
i'm getting an error when trying to send mail via my domain's squirrelmail - the ip address of the server changed recently, so i assume there is some old info in a config file somewhere that is preventing sending mail.
can anyone point me towards where this might be?
thanks, andrew
ERROR:
Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable Server replied: 550 Verification failed for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> unrouteable mail domain "localhost" Sender verify failed
still havent fixed this, but more info. when logging into squirrelmail as
a users that is not the admin user for the domain (e.g. the user has a
domain qualified username) then the error message changes:
535 Incorrect authentication data
and sending mail still fails.
also, tried to send via sendmail instead of smtp, and it appears that messages never get sent, although SM has them in the "sent" folder.
trying to figure out what is going on here - any advice appreciated.
cheers, andrew
The error messages are from your SMTP server and not from SquirrelMail.
Make sure that the SMTP authentication method configured in SquirrelMail
(see below) matches the method your SMTP server uses.
config/conf.pl 2. Server Settings B. Update SMTP Settings 7. SMTP Authentication
Sincerly, Fredrik.
