Mail server question

[doug]

In updating FreeBSD to a 5.5 resting place on the way to 6.2, sendmail went from 
8.12.11 --> 8.13.6. Three users could not connect without deleting or tinkering 
with their client profile to force the client side to reenter the password. One 
was only fixed by  setting up a new account. the three users from from an office 
with about 40 others that worked fine.

All the affected users were using POP3, two thunderbirds, and an Outlook 
Express. The troublesome use was POP3 with Eudora. No one else noticed [which 
was sorta what I was hoping for :) ]

I hope this is not too off topic, but I know of no other place to pose the 
question with any hope for an answer. Thank for any thoughts. I think I can rule 
out local firewalls because the office admin is very savy and would have told 
me. I ruled that out in the one I worked on. That one literally went from old 
account fails to new one works with nothing in between.
