 * I love Postman SMTP and have had no issues. Everything has worked great for months
   until 3 days ago.
 * All emails have stopped and the logs show “535 Incorrect authentication data”.
 * Have you heard of this and do you have any thoughts?

 * Incorrect authentication data means your name + password are being rejected by
   the email server you are connecting to.
 * Either your account has expired, your password has expired or changed, or you
   are no longer connecting to Mandrill.

 * Thanks for the response, Jason.
 * I’ve contacted BlueHost, they say I’m not being block and all looks good. I’ve
   logged in to Mandrill and verified account active, reputation “excellent”, user
   name and password were copied and pasted into Postman.
 * Really strange. All of a sudden everything just quite working.

 * Bluehost?
 * > I’ve contacted BlueHost, they say I’m not being block and all looks good.
 * Quite unlikely. AFAIK – and trust me, at this point I’m quite the authority –;-),
   Bluehost blocks **all** access to external SMTP servers. Bluehost and GoDaddy
   were the reason I wrote the [Web Services version of Postman for Gmail users](https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-gmail-extension/).
 * Please post the results of Postman’s Connectivity Test to Mandril.
 * Don’t worry, we can still it get to work 🙂

 * I appreciate that, Jason. It’s just weird I’ve been using Bluehost for over year
   and Postman with Mandrill for over 4 months and on Friday it all quit working.
 * I was able to get Gmail API working with Postman. From what I can tell the GMail
   API has a limit of 100 messages.send per day which could be a problem.
 * Below is the diagnosis test when using Mandrill:

 * That’s the Diagnostic Test, not the Connectivity Test. But if you were able to
   get the Gmail API to work, then you should also be able to get the Mandrill API
   to work.
 * Please download the Postman 1.7 beta, and switch to the Mandrill API.

 * Isn’t that odd. Maybe they forget to turn your firewall on 😉

 * Yay! Postman 1.7 worked! I’m back up and running. Thank you for your support 
   and great plugin.
 * …headed to write a review.
