as you pointed out later, this sounds like a mail server configuration issue. If the mail server and the pootle server are not part of a private subnet, then the mail server will surely require some authentication before relaying arbitrary mail. (otherwise I would call it an "open relay", which would be bad) Maybe you want to try if the mail server accepts mails from the pootle host by opening a smtp session manually? Just do: telnet $mailserver 25 and then: MAIL From: $your_from_address and finally: RCPT To: $some_destination_address I assume that the mail server will reject the recipient, since it is not managing the destination domain. As far as I can tell, pootle does not support smtp authentication for these cases. So maybe you want to use something like "ssmtp" or "estmp" for relaying the mail to the mail server. These programs support smtp authentication and act as a local mailserver (relay only). hope that helps, Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
