It has very few configuration options, and only supports basic SMTP authentication without SSL/TLS. I have exim4 running on a Debian server that will be the SMTP server for this Windows program. It is set up with default configuration, plus allowing AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN unencrypted connections. I have successfully sent an email over telnet: telnet servername 25 ehlo test 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN ... auth plain XXX 235 Authentication succeeded mail from: ... ... However, the program I want to connect to this server fails to connect. To see why, I ran a packet sniffer during the connection, and see the following session: C: HELO hostname S: 250 Hello hostname C: AUTH LOGIN XXX | XXX S: 503 AUTH command used when not advertised | 500 unrecognized command C: QUIT S: 221 closing connection I'm not familiar enough with the SMTP protocol to understand what's going on here.

If it is not accepting AUTH for authentication then it can either not require authentication, or it accepts another authentication procedure other than AUTH and if so you will need to identify it either by trying to connect via telnet and checking how it responds to the HELO or EHLO command or asking your ISP or admin.

This sounds as though the email address is not authorised to relay mail through your smtp server. Your host might be able to help with that. If you have WHM on your server, look at exim config to allow relaying. Hope this helps mcmasterp The Incredible Code Injector 112 pts 334 pts LEVEL 5 But if that is true the WP-SMTP plugin check should not have worked. I have access to whm but I don't see the relay setting. can you point to it? Vaughan Support MockingJay 2,442 pts 20,510 pts LEVEL 30 Hi, It should be under exim smarthosts. WP-SMTP might use a different HELO or EHLO when it sends. This might help you out. http://my.kualo.com/knowledgebase/?kbcat=0&article=1072 Hope this helps FREE WordPress Tutorials, Tips and Tricks Subscribe JOIN 433196 HAPPY MEMBERS We pride ourselves on our level of customer support and responsiveness to member requests.
