Hi all, I have sucessfully installed the smtp-auth(0.30) patch to qmail I can authenticate using AUTH PLAIN: $perl encode '\0user%domainname.com\0test' AHRlc3Qlc2dtbG9wZW4uY29tAHRlc3Q= $telnet 0 25 Trying 0.0.0.0... Connected to 0. Escape character is '^]'. 220 mail.domainname.com ESMTP auth plain 334 ok, go on AHRlc3Qlc2dtbG9wZW4uY29tAHRlc3Q= 235 ok, go ahead (#2.0.0) quit so, I try to use outlook2000 ( i setup outlook correctly ) but I get the usual: "553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)" According to the docs @: http://members.elysium.pl/brush/smtp-auth/client.html Outlook98 supports LOGIN and PLAIN So is the problem that outlook2k doesn't support PLAIN or am I missing some key info? Any tips, pointers, or smacks on the bald head (benny hill style) would be appreciated. -- ------------------------- Sean P.
