Mutt talks to my local (sendmail) SMTP without incident though, unless I'm mistaken; it's the conversation between my local sendmail and the WebShield system at the other end. The "syntax error" message is produced by the WebShield system. I think it's my local sendmail that's sending the AUTH=<> token. In case it helps, here's a syslog of another attempt, with [EMAIL PROTECTED], mailrelay.company.com, and <relayIp> substitutions for the final destination user/domain/relay/ip: > Sep 8 20:26:03 <mail.info> kirk sendmail[90807]: h890Q2HR090807: from=dgl, size=313, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sep 8 20:26:03 <mail.info> kirk sm-mta[90808]: h890Q3hs090808: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=476, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1] Sep 8 20:26:03 <mail.info> kirk sendmail[90807]: h890Q2HR090807: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=dgl (10000/20), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30313, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (h890Q3hs090808 Message accepted for delivery) Sep 8 20:26:04 <mail.info> kirk sm-mta[90811]: h890Q3hs090808: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (10000/20), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=30476, relay=mailrelay.company.com.
