[gentoo-user] SMTP Authentication

[Tito Valentin]

Hello list:

I have been trying to get SMTP authentication on Gentoo to work with no
success.  I am running qmail (netqmail package) with dovecot and saslauth.
 I am able to connect and read my mail through IMAP fine.  The problem is
that I cannot send email using my own SMTP server due to an authentication
issue.  Every time we try to send email out we get an error saying that it
cannot establish a connection because I am not part of the allowed rcphost
list.  I tried adding the remote host in the rcpthosts database but the
problem persists.  The only error I see in the log files for dovecot is
"Disconnected"

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why I can't be
authenticated when sending email out?  Another thing is, it keeps
prompting me for my passwd.

GV
