Incidentally, I have tried sending/receiving with both mutt and squirrelmail on accounts for both servers. Again, I confirm, they can receive mail fine, but no account on either server can send mail, either with mutt or squirrelmail. In both cases, the same error: SASL authentication failure. In some cases, then mutt asks for the password for the smtp account. I provide that, and it continues to fail. I find this odd, since I have the passwords in my muttrc files, and, as mentioned above, everything was working fine yesterday, both sending and receiving. taz -- http://taz.liberame.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
