Also, now I find I only receive mail from myself (administrator of the server). When I, say, try to send from this email at gmx.com, I get a message saying that gmx contacted my server, but was refused with: Must issue a STARTTLS command first. Now, I have successfully installed squirrelmail, and I see this very same thing when I try to send a message from the webmail, too. (Must issue a STARTTLS command). When I try to send from that acct from mutt, I only get the Sasl authentication failed message. tony -- http://tonybaldwin.me all tony, all the time -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
