is the password correct?

sure that you are using the same MUA and same authentication methods?
ssl settings (STARTTLS or SSL on Port 465) are the same?

> The OS is F15

the OS version is not relevant
what is relevant is what MUA you are using (Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail..)

You need to give at least *some* information about your setup if you
want a useful answer. At a bare minimum: are you seeing the problem with
sendmail or with some mail client, and if so which one? Also, what
authentication methods does the SMTP server support? Note that sending
and receiving mail are two different things, and the fact that one works
doesn't necessarily mean anything to the other.

Are you using Thunderbird to send mail ?



I find when you send a email a window will open for your email
password and it is is hidden down behind any open window where you
can't see it, and your email won't send until your SMTP gets it's
email password.

You might (as I do) have to use SMTPAUTH on Port 587.

I do get window that ask for password, and I enter password, then a second
window appears "Unable to authenticate to SMTP server.
Bad authentication response from server"

I am sending this email from the same computer using Kmail, however, I would
like to go back to Evolution if it can be fixed.

i owuld bet evolution is misconfigured and you should contect your
serveradmin because this is the only person who can look what
exactly happens

what auth-method are you using and what does you server support?
telnet you-smtp 587

below a smtp-session to look what the server supports

[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ telnet mail.thelounge.net 587

First, you check with your email provider to find out if the password is
sent insecurely or encrypted and make sure what port it's using. Then,
you go through Edit->Account Settings->Outgoing Server (SMTP) then
select your server and Edit. Change the Port Number to the one you were
told and set the various settings below it to match what you were told
then click OK. The first time you try to send, you'll get a pop-up box
to put in your password, and there should be a checkbox to Save it.

Have you considered asking your email provider's tech support?
