SMTP problem

[bpratt]

Y2K.bug Wrote:Hello, I have a problem with sending an email. If I use webmail, everything is OK, but when I use thunderbird, It seems that SMTP refuses connection, or some authorisation fails. I have an old one VHCS omega on one of my servers and it works well there, but on this new one it doesnt work

I can't find anything in log files about refusing connection or something....

I'm having a similar issue here on my Debian Etch system.

In my auth.log file I find this error :-

Quote: admin saslauthd[30641]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module

admin saslauthd[30641]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=yyyyy@zzzz.com.au] [service=smtp] [realm=zzzz.com.au] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

I'm thinking perhaps when I installed ispcp that the install script didn't install something right.

Your assistance in solving this problem would be appreciated.
