Rails - Apr 2005 - ActionMailer: Net::SMTPSyntaxError (502 unimplemented (#5.5.1) error

Quick ActionMailer Question:

I''m trying to send a test email message using ActionMailer and I get a 
Net::SMTPSyntaxError (502 unimplemented (#5.5.1) error. 

I''m attempting to access a remote smtp server and have setup my
settings in the environment.rb file according to the "how to" article.

My test controller:

class MailTestController < ApplicationController
	def index
	Notifier::deliver_test_message
	end
end

Below is the log. It appears the message is formatted correctly. 

Processing MailTestController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at Wed Apr 20
17:55:37 Eastern Standard Time 2005)
  Parameters: {"action"=>"index",
"controller"=>"mail_test"}

That means the mailer is sending a command that is not available on the
server, such as AUTH or something.

In fact, it looks like it died waiting for the response to the auth
command.  What do you have set for :authentication in the server_settings?

David,

Below are my settings. I''m thinking the server just doesn''t
allow this
action. Thoughts?

ActionMailer::Base.server_settings = {
  :address  => "mail.host.com",
  :port  => 25, 
  :user_name  => "derek-19nr15rzP4Y@public.gmane.org",
  :password  => "pw",
  :authentication  => :login
    }

 It seems that the line breaks are wrong,
 each header should go into it''s own line though,
 please double check that (maybe it''s just a paste problem)..

It looks like my mail server isn''t letting me conduct the transaction. 

However, I got it working just fine with another smtp account. 

Thanks for your help!
