Incidentally, I have tried sending/receiving with both mutt and
squirrelmail on accounts for both servers.
Again, I confirm, they can receive mail fine, but no account
on either server can send mail, either with mutt or squirrelmail.
In both cases, the same error: SASL authentication failure.
In some cases, then mutt asks for the password for the smtp account.
I provide that, and it continues to fail.
I find this odd, since I have the passwords in my muttrc files,
and, as mentioned above, everything was working fine yesterday,
both sending and receiving.
