        Hi, Michael!

        It's a password authentication problem, and not a Mac
problem: Both the PC
and Mac versions of Eudora 3.x exhibit this problem. You need to go back
into the Exchange settings and enable clear text passwords, should you
choose to do this. Note that this can represent a security loophole, though.

        The problem is that Eudora 3.x supports certain encryption
protocols, and
Exchange Server supports others... And they are mutually exclusive.

        I *think* Eudora 4 allows encryption that matches up with
Exchange; or you
could use Outlook for Mac bloatware, or Outlook Express for Mac if you
don't want to compromise on the security.

        Lastly, how many users do you have on your Exchange server? If you have
less than 100 users; or if you don't have a full time system admin who can
keep an eye on it, Exchange is too much of a hassle. Check out EIMS 1.x &
2.x (Eudora Internet Mail Server, formerly known as Apple Internet Mail
Server) instead: It's easy to set up and maintain, but it lacks the
redundancy that Exchange offers. I wouldn't hesitate to run it on a network
of up to about 200 users with a Quadra 650 and System 7.5.1 or MacOS 7.6.1.

        Cheers!
        Dan
