Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
Further testing shows that the 'smarthost' does not like the cram_md5 and will only accept mail with the LOGIN authentication. On occasion the 'smarthost' passes mail that it had previously denied. The error: RCPT TO: is caused by my having "set followup_to" in my .muttrc. Commenting that out has stopped the RCPT TO: notice from the server. I have also added "set ignore_list_reply_to=yes" to the muttrc. This is a windoze server so I guess it is to be expected that what works for other ISP's does not necessarally work there. Hopefully this will assist others running into these problems. What is very sad is that the only way I can reliably send mail to mailing lists, and having them passed through the server, is with Kmail in X. My beloved mutt with exim is just not reliable. I blame this on the setup of the 'smarthost'. :-( Wayne -- Don't compute and drive; the life you save may be your own. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
