Aloha Questions list, I have been trying to setup Sendmail on a server box. FreeBSD 6.1 HP Pentium II 300 CPU 686 After many attempts I am down to this one error. Error: Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mahalo.internetohana.org responded: Password supplied for admin@internetohana.org is incorrect. I have 2 user accounts for test on this swever. I can ping and telnet into ports 25 and 110 and I get the proper responses from these users. The 2 user accounts are rejected as per the error when I try to connect from a mail agent (Mozilla or Thunderbird) from another box on a different inet. (Also FreeBSD 4.11 running for several years.) The server is setup with send mail SMTP and qpopper for Pop3. There is nothing else on this box. Do I have to create a password file other than the FreeBSD /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd to get this to work. My previous attempts with Postfix and Dovecot did not get this far. Thanks for any help.
