When I try sending mail with squirrelmail I get the following error:
ERROR
Error Number: 500
Reason: Syntax error; command not recognized
Server Response: 500 5.7.0 authentication failed
MAIL NOT SENT
I have searched ensim's site and squirrelmail's but cannot find this anywhere, anyone know how to fix it?
TIA

Do you need authentication to use your SMTP server? Kind of sounds like that might be the case here.

I know absolutely nothing about ensim. To enable SMTP authentication in Squirrelmail, however, you would change into the squirrelmail/config directory. Typically that would be something like $WEBSERVERROOTDIR/squirrelmail/config/, depends where you put it. Then it's just a simple matter of running ./conf.pl and going to the 'server settings' in the config program. Change your SMTP authentication from false to true. 'Save' and 'exit' and that should do it. Hope that was what you were looking for.

I actually worded it poorly. I want to disable authentication on webmail. I ran conf.pl and don't see that option anyway, this is what I have:
SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php
---------------------------------------------------------
Server Settings
1. Domain : xxxx.com
2. IMAP Server : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
3. IMAP Port : 143
4. Use Sendmail/SMTP : SMTP
6. SMTP Server : localhost
7. SMTP Port : 25
8. Server : uw
9. Invert Time : false
10. Delimiter : detect
R Return to Main Menu
C. Turn color off
S Save data
Q Quit
TIA

Oh,
Heres what the 1.2.6 conf.pl looks like:
1. Domain : blah.blah.com
2. IMAP Server : blah.blah.com
3. IMAP Port : 143
4. Use Sendmail/SMTP : SMTP
6. SMTP Server : localhost
7. SMTP Port : 25
8. Authenticated SMTP : false
9. POP Before SMTP : false
10. Server : courier
11. Invert Time : false
12. Delimiter : detect
Not sure what version you are running as that option is not available to you. That particular option has been available, according to the changelog (http://www.squirrelmail.org/changelog.php) since version 1.1.0 back in April of 2000. Might be time to upgrade ;)
