Hi John, |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
I suppose you use a wrong username. According to |
| 59 |
http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=287 you have to use the full mail |
| 60 |
address. Otherwise check your password for correctness. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Another problem might be the line in your revaliases file. The separator |
| 63 |
between the columns is a colon not equals (right after the 'root'). If |
| 64 |
you don't send mail to other people from your root account you do not |
| 65 |
need that line anyway. |
