Does anybody use dreamhost?

Is it possible to do this on Debian?:

==========

Hi there!

The issue that's occurring looks to be stopping the sending of the
message through your mail program. What SMTP settings are you using? The
error points to authentication, but it's not an error I'm familiar with.

Are you using SMTP with authentication enabled? Also, are you set with a
standard SMTP connection, or are you using SSL enabled? Our servers won't
support TLS, so you'd want that disabled.

If issues persists, try setting these SMTP settings instead for your
users hosted on this account and see if that helps at all:

SMTP Port: 465
SMTP SSL: Enabled
SMTP Host: homie.mail.dreamhost.com
SMTP Authentication: Password

See if that helps with the connection. If issues persists, please reply
back with further specifics to the problem and include the current SMTP
settings you're using along with any other details to this matter so we
can try and assist you further.


Thank you kindly,

Jin K.

OK they found the problem!
