Trying logging in with username '[EMAIL PROTECTED] 'instead of just 'test'. The same will fix
the problem for user 'x' (i.e. change it to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]').
Otherwise it will be looking for 'global' system accounts, not specific to a domain.
The other way to set this up, is to have the IP address that you are logging in to (on port 25) reverse lookup to the domain 'test.com'. See the Q-Mail documentation for more information on that.
