>You cannot use smtp to send mail as authentication will fail
>if you are using virtual email and need to specify a user id
>like:
> user id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> password: ********
>We verified this with several different email clients. Web
>messaging still seems to work. Pop does not seem to have
>this limitation (it may be greater), only smtp.
>This was found in iMail 5.x, has this been increased in Mail
>6.x? If not would the dev team please take note and fix this.
