Hm, I never knew it. I just wanted to write an e-mail that my password were 
good, as it works with the old slave. Also (as I heard) the seconds server 
needs an pop3 login before you can send mail through it, so this is why you 
may not saw the SMTP capabilities when telnetting to it. So, do you say now 
it's fixed? I will give it a try.
