You are right Seth, and of course that makes sense. But am I correct in having:
"EnableAuthSMTP-POP3" "0" or should it be "EnableAuthSMTP-POP3" "1" because if it is set to 1, then my client doesn't have to authenticate, but if at 0, then it does. And I want it to do smtp-auth. benny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Seth A.
