You have no need of a local MTA, at all. |
| 13 |
Authentication errors from the remote host have nothing to do with any local |
| 14 |
MTA, you're speaking directly to the remote MTA. |

If you're getting errors from the local MTA, you're doing something very |
| 16 |
wrong. |

You need to attempt this manually using telnet, and/or try another client like |
| 19 |
thunderbird (as Matthias has suggested). |

Look out for the banner from the server when you connect with telnet, make |
| 21 |
sure it is actually the server you expected to connect to. |
