I was testing the configuration without TLS or SSL because I wanted to eliminate encryption issues as variables while trying to nail down the problem. However . . . I have discovered that the problem has nothing to do with my config file's syntax and everything to do with the fact that the guys running the remote SMTP server changed the authentication procedure and started using a nonstandard port. After getting the new information I needed, and changing my configuration to suit, everything works like a charm. Sorry about the unnecessary list noise. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] MacUser, Nov. 1990: "There comes a time in the history of any project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production."
