Hi,

You should be able to see the auth attempt in one f your log files.  On 
all my servers it's in /var/log/messages.  This might help show where 
the problem lies.

One of my lines as an example - Jul  1 04:43:17 mail002 vpopmail[24348]: 
vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found [email protected]:14.208.230.43
