Hello again, Some more info on the situation: %telnet myserver 25 Server: 220 myserver.com ESMTP Client: ehlo Server: 250-myserver.com Server: 250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN SERVER: 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN SERVER: 250 PIPELINING SERVER: 250 8BITMIME CLIENT: AUTH LOGIN SERVER: VXNlmc5hbWU6 CLIENT: <username in base64> server: UGF2c3dvcmQ6 client: <password in base64> server: 421 out of memory #4.3.0 server: 535 authorization failure Note that this is not a capture of what outlook express does, rather just telnetting into the server to see around. I am running a stock qmail program aside from the patch for oversize DNS lookups from http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/qmail-103.patch Has anybody else seen this 421 out of memory error? This is my test machine with 256 Meg and nobody logged on, with an empty mailqueue.

Namely I can do pop but I can't smtp-auth. I can also smtp. My setup: Server: Running Linux 2.2.12-20, Redhat 6.1 Qmail-1.03 tcpserver out of ucspi-tcp-0.88 supervise out of daemontools-0.70 SMTP-AUTH patch: http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/dist/qmail-smtpd-auth-0.23.tar.gz Client: Windows 2000/Outlook Express 5 On the Unix side my qmail-smtpd command looks as follows: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp rblsmtpd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /bin/checkpassword /bin/true /bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true Here is the problem: I can do pop but I can't do smtp-auth. The client comes back and keeps asking for the username and password combo over and over again. Since I can do pop with the same username/password, I don't think either checkpassword or the username/password has a problem. Doing non-authenticated smtp works fine as well. Also: What I am interested in doing is allow relaying from smtp-authenticated clients and not allow relaying from anybody else. Any pointers on how to do that?
