Hi Jason, Thanks for the suggesstion about logging for MySQL. I will give that a try. Yes, i did try using AUTH PLAIN and it too doesn't work. I also compiled vpopmail with clear passwords as well. Just as a test, i recompiled vpopmail with roaming-users on, and it works fine. BUT if I enable the 'My outgoing server requires authentication' for my email client, it of course doesn't work. So it has something to do with the smtp-auth code, or at least the integration of the vchkpw utility and qmail-smtpd.
Keep the suggesstions and help coming! :) -- HP On 9/25/05, Jason S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 9/25/05, Jason (AMD_) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Good Evening Bill, > > Still having my smtp auth problem here :( I just got done doing a > > complete reinstall of vpopmail and qmail using your guide and it still > > won't work.
