Re: [cobalt-users] [RaQ 4] Mail Error

[Larry Smith <lesmith@xxxxxxxxx>]

William,

  Unless you host mail for bpsd.mb.ca then the "error" is on the other mail 
server and not yours.  Ref this section of your message:


... while talking to mail.bpsd.mb.ca.:
 >>> MAIL From:<billy@xxxxxxxxxx> SIZE=1065 AUTH=billy@xxxxxxxxxx

It would appear that your server is trying to "authenticate" with the remote 
server and it is telling you that it doesn't do that...
