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
