Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now.


That's really strange, since elog does not do any pop at all. So "pop before SMTP" won't help. The elogd message log in the previous message seems truncated to me, you should get something like

In your case there should even be more than that due to the authentication (our sever does not use username authentification). Maybe you have an error there in the authentication.
