Check the Relaying control settings at the bottom Connection Control tab in the MercuryS configuration.  I have the  "Only Authenticated SMTP connections..." option checked along with an AUTH password file which contains the authentication credentials for each authorized user.

If you use the SMTP_auth.pw file, make sure that the same password is used in the relevant accounts in the Manage Local Users dialog off Configuration.

<P>Have you got a full session log of a failed connection?  Configuration / MercuryS, create session logs checkbox.  You will find a series of TCPxxxx.ms files in the session folder which should give more detail.</P> <P>(Turn off session logging afterwards to avoid bloated log folder!)</P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>

<p>As for the MercuryS session I would assume there is some problem with the auth file. Note that Base64 encoding can easily be decoded, so you may not want to continue using that username and password if the system is accessible from the Internet.</p><p>/Rolf </p>

<p>Not sure what the problem is with the auth file, but I would suggest that you create a new one using the default name auth.mer. Add just one username/password pair, editing it from the Mercury console, and test a SMTP connection with those user details.</p><p>Please have a look at the local domains configuration as well, and modify it according to Mercury help or the PDF manual. (A restart of Mercury will be required after that).</p><p>/Rolf </p>
