SIMS:
The only authentication mechanism that we use is:
SMTP - Anti-Spam Options - Client Hosts with checked "Relay for Clients Only"
The client list contains the IP (local one on LAN) that is assigned to the Mac that I try to send e-mail from using Apple's Mail application through SMIS.
Mail application on Mac:
No authentication is set in Mail's preferences regarding chosen SMTP server
Mail says "connecting" and it fails to send a message. After certain amount of time Mail displays a window confirming a problem "The outgoing mail server "..." failed to deliver this message. An error occured while delivering this message via the SMTP server "(null)".
If you would like to use different delivery account for sending messages from this accountfor the time being, select it below and click :Try this account".
Below there is a menu with a list of other SMTP servers (assigned in MAil preferences for other accounts).
At the bottom there are two options: Send later and Try this account.
Eudora 5.2 OSX
I have just downloaded Eudora 5.2 OSX and tried to send a message from the same Mac through the same SMTP server, i.e. SIMS.
No problems at all.
Any idea where should I further look at?

good Morning,
I have some questions for you.
1) Are you relying on POP authentication to allow your users to send mail?
2) Or are you using SMTP auth?
3) Or is the client you're sending from on the "Allow relay for client IPs only" list?
If you're using password encryption in Mail.app, which authentication setting do you have it set for? If the mail-server has your account set to "Require APOP" then you'll need to make sure the authentication type for that account's POP access is set to "Password." Otherwise you won't get to retrieve mail, thus, no send either.
If your mail server relies on SMTP auth to allow mail to get sent, you need to go into the Preferences, and EDIT the account pointing to your SIMS server so that it is using MD5 Challenge-Response authentication for SMTP. Other settings don't work.
If you are using the "Relay for local clients in x IP range" strategy, make sure your client list has the proper ip-range entered. (ie. you didn't accidentally enter 10.0.10/23 instead of 10.0.10/24.)
So which of these applies to you?

Setup: SIMS as smtp server on LAN
E-mail client software on Mac OS X: OE - no problems with sending messages
E-mail client software on Mac OS X: Apple's Mail - none of of the messages gets through. I see Mail trying to connect to SIMS but it always fails to do so.
Background: I try to send messages from the same Mac switching from OE to Mail with the same e-mail account settings.
Any suggestions?
