Hi,
I have some problems with email settings and I can't solve it.
I use SMTPAuth. I have installed sendmail by default on Fedora 1 but I don't use it yet.
When I try to send email to user I keep getting this error :
SMTP Error: Could not authenticate
Also when I try to register new user I get a message that I am registered, but user doesn't get the email. Instead of this my root user of Fedora gets it.

And I almost forgot to mention that I have server behind firewall(linux ruter) if this help.

What is wrong or I missed something?

Thanks

In order to send e-mail through smtpauth servers you have to use your smtp outgoing username + username password. If user and password is correct you shouldn't have any problem with sending email

you receive this 'couse username or password isn't correct.

Your server mail system should work also. Try to set up a new account under your system exchange and send test e-mail to your self. If you can't receive it, then XOOPS isn't a problem - it's you server mailing system.

Disable firewall, see what happens.

Have you tried phpmailer? It should work without reliance on smtp servers.
