Hello and thanks for the reply. I understand about the RELAY. I configured the server myself so that only authenticated users could send through it. All clients (windows mail, thunderbird, etc) can send when properly authenticated. >From what I read, when the fields $smtp_sitewide_user = ''; $smtp_sitewide_pass = ''; are null, the system should try to use the same user/pass used in imap settings to be able to send. If entering an existing valid user and password in those fields, shouldn’t squirrelmail use them to authenticate? Thanks and best regards.

The access file is there to say that the server running SquirrelMail is trusted to relay mail from. > My options in config.php are the following: > $smtp_auth_mech = 'login'; > $imap_auth_mech = 'login'; This is all about your mail server setup, nothing to do with SquirrelMail. If you are requiring SASL login to send mail, then technically, the access file/permission on the mail server probably isn't needed, but in any case, SquirrelMail will just do what you tell it. > $smtp_sitewide_user = ''; > $smtp_sitewide_pass = ''; > $use_imap_tls = true; > $use_smtp_tls = true; > > One test I did was remove the RELAY entry in Sendmail access file and use > valid user for fields $smtp_sitewide_user = ''; > $smtp_sitewide_pass = ''; > But the error is the same. > > Any ideas please? Read the logs on the mail server and review what your Sendmail relay and/or SASL authentication configuration (client requirements) are. After that, configure SquirrelMail to do whatever you choose to require on the Sendmail side. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
