Yes that is it .. you may have tried it from telnet <fqdn> 25 but .. it should need a encripted password ... better try with Outlook or so ... also send the Telnet out put .... Also .. to the List Guys .. is there any problem with vpopmail to be used for smpt auth ..... [i mean some open relay probelm in any of the versions of vpopmail] regards Girish
