At first I thought that was a question I should just go ahead and answer without bothering to double check my Thunderbird configuration, because I was certain that it isn't doing SMTP authentication. As it turns out, it is - at some point I actually checked the box to do so, and I have no idea when (obviously I was sleepwalking).
That means that I either have roughly 50 users who can't send mail and don't seem to care enough to bother letting me know, or by some small miracle they figured out to get their email clients to do SMTP authentication, which I have a hard time believing. But then this week has been full of strange suprises! Thanks for snapping me out of yet another misconception... I can only assume at this point that Rob was correct in pointing out that I have to use SMTP authentication now across the board since my SMTP and POP3 are coming in and going out of different IP:PORT combinations. Clarity at last... :) Jeff Sönke Ruempler wrote: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] <> wrote on Thursday, July 07, 2005 2:16 >AM: > > > >>Maybe its some sort of security related bug in Thunderbird >>that allows >>it to authenticate across 2 different IP's? >> >> > >Are you sure that TB does not send SMTP auth?
