SMTP authentication error

J

JT Harvey Jr

I recently began the process of upgrading my dedicated hosting
environment. In the process my MTA was updated to qmail from sendmail.

Using both Mail and Entourage I am getting a SMTP authentication error.
Error: -17897 that states authentication failed because my email client
doesn't support any of the available authentication methods.

Oddly though, if I exit the mail program and then re-launch it after
several minutes, the mail will go through. (it takes more finessing
attempts) at times)

Anyone have any ideas

What authentication method did you use in Sendmail??

What version of Enoturage do you use? Is it up to date??

One option would be to use some sort of port sniffing to figure out
where it fails. Not much fun to do though :-\
