I've seen some annoying smtp clients that once they do a EHLO and see that smtp auth is available will then prompt for auth even if it isn't needed to send the email. I don't use mozilla mail so I don't know if it does this. I kind of doubt it does though. >>>------> -- +-------------+-----------------------+---------------+ | Ed Schaller | Dark Mist Networking | psuedoshroom | +-------------+-----------------------+---------------+
