Subject: [gentoo-user] authorization faliure when sending email
Date: Mon, 05 Sep 2005 15:44:25
Message-Id: 20050905153712.44804.qmail@web86606.mail.ukl.yahoo.com
1 I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem.
2
3 When I try to send an email from kmail I get the
4 following message:
5
6 Sending failed:
7 Authentication failed. Most likely the password is
8 wrong. The server responded:
9 "authorization failed (#5.7.0)"
10
11 I can receive emails and I can send them from the
12 webmail client. The settings in kmail are correct and
13 worked fine last week. I've checked with the service
14 provider and no settings for the smtp server have been
15 changed. No one else in the lab is having problems
16 sending emails. It seems to me that the problem is in
17 my laptop. But I've no clue where to look. On Friday
18 I did an emerge --update --deep world, followed by
19 etc-update (nothing obvious changed) then emerge
20 --depclean, revdep-rebuild, but nothing was emerged or
21 changed that looked like it would affect the network
22 settings (apart from dhcpcd, but I tried reverting to
23 the previous version, but it made no difference).
24 Obviously something did change! But what I don't know.
25 Last night I redid the whole thing with --newuse to
26 see if that would fix the problem no joy.
