[...] Ah. I think *I* was *that* person.
Sorry, I had to parse a forwarded copy of one part of the start of the thread. I even think the exchange was in PM, at least in part, so I quess you are right :)
[...] Ah! Python's smtplib module grew support for SMTP auth in version 2.2. If you need only a single user/password, you could embed it in SMTPdirect:

def __connect(self):
self.__conn = smtplib.SMTP()
self.__conn.connect(mm_cfg.SMTPHOST, mm_cfg.SMTPPORT)

self.__numsessions = mm_cfg.SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION
def sendmail(self, envsender, recips, msgtext):

This is what I did, and things work perfectly.
Thank you very much. I had mixed feelings about using the unsafe Sendmail.py but it was still better than running an open relay.
Cleaner alternatives might be to: - if the user/passord are the same for all the lists, put them in your mm_cfg.py and reference them here [...] It does seem a bug that Sendmail.py isn't doing the decoration... I think most people are using SMTPDirect to inject their messages into their mail systems.
I think it is not a major bug in Sendmail.py, since the author strongly dissapproves its usage. It should be in there, since it is provided as an example. But I would not really consider it to be a 'bug'.
I consider it more important to support SMTP-auth in the widely used SMTPDirect.py module. (That is: without source-code changes done by the users)
When I installed mailman, I was looking for a way to use SMTP-auth but did not find any. Seems like it is the time to join the documentation-list, isn't it...? :)
Well, thank you all very much for your help and for a wonderfull software.
