relay.

and i receive the relay test email... ;(

Are you tesing using an address that's not on that server?

For only one of our servers, this test is ok, and show us that the relay
is forbidden. But why not all the other ??? I try again to disable the
'popbefore', save it, and re-enable it with save... Nothing helps....

Like you told me, i created a new user, and defined it in my outlook,
but without using pop before. It worked fine! The mails are out, and i
don't receive any relay error message, like it have to be !? Also tryed
to disconnect and reconnect my internet, only to receive a new IP, and
instantly send a mail. I double checked if my outlook try the pop
before, and i don't see that. He send it without asking for something ;(
Thank you for any good idea. How can i try to look, and which files ?
