With SPAM mail being a ongoing issue, I had to deploy I-mail to not relay
mail for anyone, and allow remote users ( all are remote users ) to send
mail by requiring them to log into the SMTP server with the POP3 account
info.  I have been evaluating
different mail clients for compatibility, and canot make either Eudora
Light, or the latest Eudora, 4.3 to log into the SMTP server properly.

Here is the only info I could find from Qualcomm:


SMTP Authentication

Document ID: 1637HQ
Issue: My service provider has increased security to reduce SPAM and now I
need to enter a username and password when sending mail. Does Eudora
support this?


Solution: Eudora 4.2 supports SMTP Authentication. We support the CRAM-MD5
encryption for SMTP Authentication. To turn this feature on in windows
Eudora 4.2, add the following lines to the settings section of your
eudora.ini file:


SMTPAuthAllowed=1

SMTPAuthRequired=1


Note: Known issue in 4.2 - If your server supports multiple methods of
authenticating, Eudora only checks the first one listed. If the first
method supported is something other than CRAM-MD5, Eudora will not send the
AUTH command even though the server may support this authentication method.
This will be fixed for version 4.2.1.

I tried this, and is just causes Eudora to hang trying to contact the SMTP
server.  No luck.  Do you all have any insight on how to make Eudora work
when I-mail is configured not to relay?
