Evenning all,

This is something that's been stumping me for a while.

I'm running sugar 5.1
PHP 5.2
SQL 2003

I can send emails and campaigns form the system no problems.

If I go into the Mail Account settings to configure mail settings for any user in the system, if I put in the credentials for the POP3 mail server as (I'm just pointing out the areas that give issues)

User Name: server\user or user@server.local
Password: password for the user@server.local
Mail Server Address: mail.server.com

if I click on Test Settings, after several minutes a messages comes back -- timed out
If I put in a different email settings

User Name: user@server.net
Password: password for the user@server.net
Mail Server Address: mail.server.com

if I click on Test Setting -- success

I do know that the @server.local is how the email server was set up -- .local for the domain in Server 2003 AD.

Yet, I can take the same settings for @server.local and plug them into an outlook express client -- it works
I can use OWA with those sames settings (@server.local) and I can connect to the mailbox.

Does Sugar not allow for extensions such as .local ? If there's a check or a restriction on this, what file would be preventing this?

Obviously my global settings for SMTP is working great (which happens to be user@server.local) since I can send out emails and campaigns.
