So I figured out the problem. I set up my email server using the qmailrocks.com default setup. So my SMTP server does require authentication, except for when it's coming from the local IP, since apache and qmail reside on the same box.
So... I had to put my postmaster@<emailaddress>.com in the username, and left the password blank. That worked. Great product by the way! -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Jongsma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 12:06 AM To: RoundCube Dev Cc: Bain Kennedy Subject: Re: [RoundCube Dev] Problem with SMTP authentication I have the same problem, and my server definitely requires authentication.
