IIS/SMTP Authentication
by megawhizzz » Thu, 18 Aug 2005 06:26:49 GMT
I have a windows server 2003 system set up with IIS/SMTP (no
POP/Exchange).
I have turned "basic authentication" on on the SMTP server to implement
some basic username/password security. However some users trying to
send email
through my server are having problems, specifically using the Eudora
mail client. Although they have "allow authentication" turned on in
their SMTP settings in the mail client, the IIS server returns "530
5.7.3 Client was not authenticated" for them. Users using thunderbird,
outlook express, etc. are not having any problems connecting.
I think this may be because of the SMTP authentication methods
supported by Eudora - the documentation says that "The preferred SMTP
authentication method is CRAM-MD5. If CRAM-MD5 is not available, LOGIN
or PLAIN will automatically be used."
Can anybody help?

1.IIS 6 SMTP Relay to Another SMTP Server
I currently have IIS 6 setup to serve as an SMTP server for my domain,
however since I have a dynamic IP assignment from my ISP my SMTP server
is considered blacklisted by many email hosts. Is there any way I can
setup my SMTP server to relay mail through another SMTP server,
specifically my ISP's, so that mail sent through my server will not be
considered spam?
BTW: I do not spam, only a few of my friends use my server and must
authenticate.
Thanks in advance for your help.

2.Problem Recieving Mail when using SMTP Authentication
We have a customer who has Exchange 2000 and was
blacklisted by mail-abuse.com for being open to relaying.
We went to the client site and turned on authentication
(both basic and windows integrated authentication) on the
Virtual SMTP server. this shut down the ability to relay
but for some reason the users on the server were no longer
able to get incoming mail. They were able to send mail
through exchange after authenticating but not incoming.
As soon as I set the server to anonymous access on the
virtual SMTP server she was able to again recieve mail.
Am very puzzled why setting authentication on the outgoing
mail server would effect incoming mail. Any clue opn what
to check would be appreciated, and any complete solution
would be greatly appreciated.

4.SMTP-AUTH failed authentication - reason: garbled Base64 data
I have asked Surfcontrol what the reason could be from this message:
INFO: 0 cC5qYW5zZW5AY2FuZGUubmw= - cC5qYW5zZW5AY2FuZGUubmw=
WARNING: 0 SMTP-AUTH failed authentication - reason: garbled Base64
data
Unfortunately they didn't awnser yet, so my question is if anyone else
has similare issues using ESMTP?
When i decode thise base64 string it shows p.jansen@?????.nl. But
surfcontrol rejects it!
Another user sending:
INFO: 2 EHLO - EHLO ws001martin
INFO: 2 AUTH - AUTH LOGIN
INFO: 2 bS5tZXV3ZXNlQGNhbmRlLm5s - bS5tZXV3ZXNlQGNhbmRlLm5s
INFO: 2 SMTP-AUTH successfull authentication for user:
m.meuwese@????.nl
passes. Sorry for the ???? it's against e-mail harvesting.
does any one have a clue?
running version 5.5 of surfcontrol SMTP filter.
thx in advance
5.smtp authentication must be set wrong
message can not be sent. the authentication setting might not be correct for
your computer. I can send all my emails except to one person, who also uses
comcast as the server. I've called comcast before and they deny they are the
problem even though my settings are spot on with what comcast wants.
