OK, here's how I understood it: if you comment out mail.server.username and mail.server.password, it works, but if you leave them empty, it doesn't work (presumably because it sends empty values).

The relevant code is here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3.1/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/core/Email.java#L265 It seems to me the code should behave the same (username == null) regardless of whether mail.server.username is commented out or has an empty value. But I would need to verify this.
