Hello list: I have been trying to get SMTP authentication on Gentoo to work with no success. I am running qmail (netqmail package) with dovecot and saslauth. I am able to connect and read my mail through IMAP fine. The problem is that I cannot send email using my own SMTP server due to an authentication issue. Every time we try to send email out we get an error saying that it cannot establish a connection because I am not part of the allowed rcphost list. I tried adding the remote host in the rcpthosts database but the problem persists. The only error I see in the log files for dovecot is "Disconnected"
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why I can't be authenticated when sending email out? Another thing is, it keeps prompting me for my passwd. GV -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
