> there are two different issues here:
if on the LAN the pix is not relevant but the AUTH method for OE was not present. On the WAN pix seems to be present and must be disabled to have ESMTP work.
even after i added the LOGIN authenticator, both OE and thunderbird must check the "smtp require username/password" box.
well, that's not surprising, I do not know of a client that behaves differently.
i wonder why thunderbird acts like OE (??) that only making use of AUTH LOGIN authenticator.
emulation...?
The other 2 (AUTH PLAIN and AUTH CRAM-MD5) are used for login to POP/IMAP ???
?? we are talking of an SMTP server here! These authentication are for decent client applications, like the not so amazing, but still much better than OE, Eudora.
Right now, the situation is the client needs to enter password TWICE, 1 for pop email off their mailbox, 1 for sending mail from my server.
OE allows you to use for SMTP AUTH the same authentication settings of the POP/IMAP account, so there is no need.
client must not appreciate that coz they didn't have to in the past (sendmail, qmail).. Any solution to this?
let them complain, they would anyway, after all they most probably use Windows, poor little ones.
