Hi!

I am trying to send mail from my java application simply connecting on localhost:25 with empty login and password (I have to state them due to API).

Mail sending is failed then with

2010-03-21 12:20:01 login authenticator failed for localhost [127.0.0.1]: 535 Incorrect authentication data

On the other hand, when I am sending mail with telnet by:

$ telnet localhost 25
ehlo ...
mail from:...
rcpt to:...
data:
...

it works perfectly.

Any clues?
