Hello.

We are getting errors for some accoutns that they can recieve emails but sending is not possible.
Error that we get are:
2004-10-27 12:54:40 fixed_login authenticator failed for (ma****) [193.XXX.XX.XX]: 535 Incorrect authentication data ([email protected])
I think this is problem with all those domain taht where transfer as WHM -> WHM way.

Any fix or suggestion what this could be ?

Thanks.

fixed...

Figured out how to fix it. Log into CPANEL and go to manage accounts. Find the mail account that is not working and go to change password. You can even change the password to the same password.. it doesnt matter. But when you click save, it will work again.

I found what the problem is, but do not know why /scripts/mailperm does not fix it.

File "shadow" should be user.mail, and is user.user for owner group. /home/usernamer/etc AND /home/username/etc/domaim.name/

Maybe some better programmer than me can find how to fix mailperm or write something that will fix problem.

I think that a simple:

# chown .mail /home/*/etc/*/shadow
# chown .mail /home/*/etc/shadow*

should fix it :)
