Not much of a test Lisi. I am subscribed to this list using a wdtv.com
address. So my mail only goes thru a gmail server if its going to a
person who is subscribed to this list using a gmail address.
Gmail locked me out, intermittently, then permanently, 7 or 8 months
back, but the shentel alias kept on working till yesterday afternoon.
Shentel farmed their email services out to gmail most of a year ago, so
when I post to a shentel server, its actually going out thru gmail.
This is single access attempt:
mailfilter: 0.8.3 querying gheskett@shentel.net@pop.gmail.com on Thu Aug
20 01:07:02 2015.
mailfilter: Error: Error occured while sending password to server.
mailfilter: Error: Server login failure.
mailfilter: Error: Skipping account gheskett@shentel.net@pop.gmail.com
due to earlier errors.
fetchmail: Authorization failure on
gheskett@shentel.net@gmail-pop.l.google.com
fetchmail: For help, see http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html#R15
fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)
So both mailfilter and fetchmail are being denied with an AUTHFAIL. I'll
attempt to scratch this itch during business hours tomorrow.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
