I am trying to use my droid to reply to mail msgs. I can receive but when I try to send one I get authentication failed. I looked at server 'var/log/maillog' and here is the msg:

warning: SASL authentication failure: Could not open /etc/sasldb2: gdbm_errno=3

I am trying to understand what is failing here. If you have any thoughts it would be appreciated.

thanks

You have to force sasl to use plain or login.
Is this only from your droid phone or do you have problems from all clients?

I've only noticed the msg from when I use the droid.

Hi there.

I also had troubles sending mail from my Android, the embedded email client do not provide the "PLAIN" authentication method.

Use the K9 email client instead. I found it also more configurabile that the original one(ie. working different signatures for different accounts).

A hint solving your problem is that when tryed to send emails with the original client as a local IP client you get the auth errorrs. If you try to send from an external IP (ie. your GPRS provider) the message is sent. I haven't yet time enough to properly examine this issue so I switced to K9.

Is there any problem with this forum engine???

I didn' t receive email notification about baboo's reply. Nor about SMS-1.6.0 release.

For me isn't a real problem since I check the forum at least 3 times/week.... Wink
