Okay. Sending mail has nothing to do with receiving.
The two are very seperate processes. Email addresses
are always specified as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I believe you are
trying to say that your SMTP server has SMTP_AUTH enabled,
so you're trying to provide a username and password to
be allowed to send mail. The SMTP_AUTH patches do not work
with vpopmail 4.9.10, and most previous versions. There was
an error in the exit codes. The new development version, 4.10.32,
about to become stable, has the exit code fixes. If you don't want
to use the development version, you will need to downgrade a
considerable
amount. However, I'm not certian of which version to use. I suggest
going with roaming users for the time being, and if you cannot wait,
going with the development version.
Good luck.
