Description

I tried to setup smtp notifications, but it keeps failing with authentication errors.

Another user also verified this.

-------------------------------------------------
Well I just tested using another smtp server, and yup it fails.

I know for a fact that have the correct username and password, since I just tested the auth from command line

250 homiemail-a48.g.dreamhost.com
auth login
snipped
235 2.7.0 Authentication successful

To test from telnet you need to base64 your email address and password, send base64 encoded emailaddress, then enter then base64 encoded password. And this works fine, but put the same info into pfsense and yup it fails.

But if you have telnet access off your network, then just send directly to the mail server for the domain your wanting to sent email too.

But they need to correct this, think I will do a sniff and see what its doing wrong.

edit: Ok from a capture it never sends the auth command, nor the info.. So yeah its broke!
