[horde] Horde/IMP/Apache and Send Mail

[Norris Ward]

Hi all,
	I did some digging and research. It now seems that my sendmailer is now
setup for auth.  Here is the output from my telnetting to port 25

220 www.norrcommsolutions.net ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6; Tue, 17 Jun 2003

07:20 -0400

Upon doing some more research, I found this link to some info post by Chuck
H.
http://quake.seismo.unr.edu/ftp/pub/updates/bankert/php-4.0.4pl1/pear/Mail/s
mtp.php  Does this have some bearing on my issue with SMTP auth?  Now, I am
trying to find Net_smtp:: class.

Are my assumptions correct here?

Either you are trying to authenticate with the wrong user/password data,
or your smtp auth doesn't allow e.g. plain text authentication, or your
smtp doesn't support smtp auth but you are trying to use it anyway.

That is fine, as long as your smtp server is really on localhost.

Should work.  You could specify port also, but I don't think it is needed.

What happens if you set that to false?

Depends on versions and configuration.
