Hi Geoff:

I'm having difficulty sending mail from my Linux (Fedora 17) box via my ISP. I can send mail 
from my ISP's web mail interface (witness this) but not from Balsa on the Fedora 
box.  Here's the debug output. Can someone please enlighten me as to where the 
"Authentication failed" is being generated?

RFC 4954 (<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4954>) defines error code 535 as

<quote>
   535 5.7.8  Authentication credentials invalid

   This response to the AUTH command indicates that the authentication failed 
due to invalid or insufficient authentication credentials.
</quote>

IOW, either the user name or the password (or the combination of them) are not 
accepted by the server.

Here, a "AUTH PLAIN" (see <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4616>) authentication 
did apparently fail...

... and the "AUTH LOGIN" failed, too.

*WARNING* - note that the login strings above contain your cleartext base64 
encoded authentication tokens.  Thus, change them ASAP!!!!

Best, Albrecht.
