I have the following line at the bottom of the access file: AuthInfo:ISP_EMAIL_SERVER "U:USER_NAME" "P:USER_PASSWORD" You only need one valid user name and password for mail sent by any user. I found that I needed to use the real ISP mail server name not an alias. Do a host lookup on their pop server name to make sure you have the actual server name. Don't forget to do a "makemap hash access < access" after you change the access file to create your access.db file. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
