What is odd, it seems, that when you create an IMAP
account, in the "Server Settings" area, there is a
"Security Settings" section there where authenication
can be defined, however, there is also a "Outgoing
Server (SMTP)" section that has a "Security And
Authenication" section which duplicates it, ie the
"None", "TLS, if available", ...
What is not clear to me in the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)"
section, "Use name and password", how do you enter both
the username and password in this single field? What is
the delimiter? A space between the two?
Enter the username only. The first time you send a message you will be
asked for the password, with an option to store it locally IIRC.
I have configured my Exchange server to allow all local
only relays, and I even see the log entries identifying
connections, and there appears in it, no errors as to
failed deliveries. It seems very transparent.
I have no clue where the problem is, I get no returned
failed delivery return messages. It is very transparent,
or so it seems.
I wonder if I should use F8's sendmail for Outbound
deliveries on the F8 system, providing I have the option
to bypass the IMAP account's Outgoing server settings.
You could but it's probably going to be harder to configure. An easier
alternative is to do SMTP directly to your ISP's server and bypass
Exchange, assuming there isn't an internal firewall preventing you from
doing that.
