That'll do ok on a local LAN, but beware that the password will be sent in the clear. :( Using tls as well as authentication ensures that passwords aren't sent in the clear, regardless of the authentication type used.

It's sorta hard to tell what exactly the problem is w/out knowing the reason for the rejection. It should say something in the bounce, as well as the smtp log on the toaster. That being said, I prefer having machines submit email using an authenticated session. This is easy to do with postfix. I believe I posted instructions for this on this list several months ago. Please search the list archives for it, and if you have a problem with it, let us know. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
