Mail error (SOLVED)

Hi,

After my google search and knowing how Telefonica Argentina (my ISP)
works, my guess is that they have their SMTP server missconfigured (or
buggy software) and it's triggering this sendmail error (maybe a bug, I
don't know).

The only results from my search were other people having exactly the
same error trying to send mail to the same server.

I'm not an expert on SMTP AUTH (as I said before), so I can't be sure
about the cause of the problem. Anyway, this is a temporary server and
I'm going to install qmail+vpopmail on the "real" sever. I just needed
to get rid of this problems for a few days :)
