Hello everyone:
Please add me to the list of folks who are unable to authenticate smtp. I
am also having this smtp authentication problem though I am using Courier
(IMAP) and not dovecot. It is driving me crazy. What I have done in order
to be able to send mail is to use my ISP's smtp server but I see how some
folks wouldn't want their ISP's servers to be present in their email
headers.
I hope someone is able to make a suggestion soon,
David
