I suspect that if you use gmail as your smarthost they impose a limit on the number of mails you can *send*. I don't remember the details, e.g., whether it is 100/day or something like that, but I remember running into the limitation in the past. Nor do I remember if it manifested itself as a login limit, but I suppose it might since you authenticate when sending mails. If you have some cron job or monitoring system or something else that sends mails and that could have exceeded their limit (check logs?), I'd suggest you look up their documentation and/or contact their support. They'll unlock the account and will also tell you how to avoid the problem in the future. I don't recall what the solution was since I was not the one handling the issue. That was in a commercial setting, anyway. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
