Sendmail on FBSD server wont connect to remote user.

[admin at hdk5.com]

Aloha Questions list,

I have been trying to setup Sendmail on a server box.
FreeBSD 6.1 HP Pentium II 300 CPU 686

After many attempts I am down to this one error.

Error:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server 
mahalo.internetohana.org responded:
Password supplied for admin at internetohana.org is incorrect.


I have 2 user accounts for test on this swever. I can ping and telnet 
into ports 25 and 110 and I get the proper responses from these users.

The 2 user accounts are rejected as per the error when I try to connect 
from a mail agent (Mozilla or Thunderbird) from another box on a 
different inet. (Also FreeBSD 4.11 running for several years.)


The server is setup with send mail SMTP and qpopper for Pop3. There is 
nothing else on this box.

Do I have to create a password file other than the FreeBSD  /etc/passwd 
and /etc/master.passwd
to get this to work.

My previous attempts with Postfix and Dovecot did not get this far.

Thanks for any help.
