Ok, I've gone to the setup you suggested. The corey user is in mailusers.tab, with the correct password, properly encrypted. Using "userlist", I can verify the password I am giving xmail is the correct one. My smtpauth.tab file is empty. The 'DefaultSmtpPerms' directive in server.tab is set to 'MRVZ'. Here's where it gets strange. From my remote machine (Win2K AS), I can telnet to the server and send email to both the local account and foreign domains. From the xmail machine itself (RedHat 9 over SSH), using both localhost and agbs.us as a telnet target, I can only email to the local account using SMTP commands. I get a '550 Relay denied' error when trying to email to a foreign domain (I do _not_ get this error when telneting from my remote machine). Using the Thunderbird email client on my remote machine, I get the continual password popup box, even though I enter the correct password I confirmed above. Yet if I stick the corey user in smtpauth.tab, with the correct non-encrypted password and perms of 'MR', emailing to agbs.us and foreign domain addresses from the email client works fine. However, trying to email to a foreign domain address while telneting to the xmail machine, from the xmail machine, still fails. Any ideas? I'm losing hair at an unprecedented pace. :P ~ Corey - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
