Adam Thanks for the tip. I have exim4, with exim4-daemon-light, installed and am still fighting to get AUTH working. Here is what I have found.
Telnet smtp.intergate.com 25 EHLO intergate.com 250-corpweb.trip.net Hello host-69-95-14-38.roc.choiceone.net [69.95.14.38], ple ased to meet you 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 40000000 250-DSN 250-ETRN 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP seems to indicate cram-md5 'should' work but here is what I get when I try to send from this address: cram_md5 authenticator failed H=smtp.intergate.com [216.139.64.8] 535 5.7.0 authentication failed if I comment the cram_md5 authenticator out, leaving only the plain and login authenticators I get (trying to get on the exim4 mail list) [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host smtp.intergate.com [216.139.64.8]: 550 5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. .. Relaying denied. Proper authentication required. Going through the exim4 HOWTO I see that they say I need to add A0723: You need to have this setting in your PLAIN authenticator: server_prompts = : I did add that but it didn't seem to change anything. :-( Would you know if I have to define something for the following line .ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS From the servers reply it seems they don't run TLS so everything has to go plaintext. I can't find anything in the, rather obtuse, exim4 docs about this, IF(?) my request to join the exim4 mail list got through, I'll hopefully ask these questions there. I am forced to use Kmail now so hope this gets to the list. All my other mails have not been showing up due to this AUTH problem. Thanks for your help. Wayne
