I've not (intentionally) configured sasl for sendmail. I do have dovecot configured so my wife can use pop3, and the authentication is specifically set to use the local linux box's username and password. It has been set that way for at least two years, and I've not changed anything. I did some googling and most of the hits talk about configuration errors in cyrus-sasl. But since I"m not running that, I don't know where else to dig. Anyone have a clue why I'm getting these, suddenly? and more importatnly, how to fix it? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.
