Slow down a minute! When you say you changed a "T" to a "t", are you saying the username had a capital letter in it or the password? Having a username with uppercase letters will not normally work if you are using sendmail as the transport because sendmail maps the usernames to lower case before attempting local delivery. Now I haven't played with the internals of sendmail in a while, but I do not advise anyone to create usernames that have mixed upper and lower case. I wouldn't be surprised if other mail transport systems had the same restrictions. -- David H.
