My ISP, btinternet recently introduced mail authentication. I thought
I had set Pegasus up correctly but unfortunately when I try post I
getthe following message

[*] Connection established to 217.12.12.124
0038 220 smtp800.mail.ukl.yahoo.com ESMTP

0014 250 8BITMIME

0209 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit www.btyahoo.com/smtp or call 0800 328 9968
When I try to contact BTyahoo support they just tell me that they
don't support Pegasus

Pegasus is not attempting to use SMTP AUTH. What version are you
running? The server does not offer CRAM-MD5 (shame on them!), and
that's all PM supported up until 3.12b or c (IIRC).

If you have 3.12c or later, you haven't enabled SMTP authentication.

Thanks Fred, I'm using 4.12c, I have tried enabling SMTP
authentication, but clearly I'm doing it wrong.

Since there's no attempt to authenticate at all, it isn't enabled.
Or perhaps you enabled the first option (POP before SMTP), which
wouldn't show in the log snippet you posted and isn't likely to work
with your ISP.

Are you sure you are looking at/editing the SMTP definition that is
used by the identity sending this message? In the SMTP definition's
Security tab, you most likely want the third option (Login using POP
username/password). If that is already enabled, make sure the
correct POP definition is selected.

Argh, I have to appologise. I should have warned you not to paste
a session log where AUTH PLAIN or AUTH LOGIN is attempted, without
snipping the encoded (NOT encrypted) text. You've just posted your
BTInternet username/password to usenet. You'll have to get the
password changed ASAP.

The SMTP server does not like the username and/or password you gave
it. My first guess was that the SMTP server just wants your
username, not "***@btinternet.co". But that does not appear
to be the case, at least it didn't work when I tried it manually.

My second guess is that the SMTP AUTH username/password is
unrelated to the POP username/password, in which case the ISP
should have told you what to use as part of the instructions for
configuring whatever email clients they support.

Hmm, but looking a bit more closely, maybe a better guess is that
the POP definition you selected (for btinternet.co) maybe has
nothing to do with Yahoo mail (the SMTP server is in the yahoo.com
domain)?

Go to Tools>Internet options>Sending MailSMTP and select the Default,
then select the Edit button, and then select the Security tab. In there
you will see the option of SMTP authentication.....tick that box, and
enter the username and password of your mailbox held by your server.

That should do it. (I have btinternet, and it worked for me, running
Pegasus 3.12c)

Thanks Cliff, this is what I'm trying to do, using version 4.21c. I
know it will be something simple.
