I would say the opposite: it is a rather primitive MUA that does not give you more configuration settings. In most MUAs I used, besides a server name and a port, you can (and should) configure whether a) you want to use AUTH or not b) you want to connect unencrypted, encrypted via SMTP-over-TLS (as typically on port 465) or encrypted via STARTTLS (as typically on port 587). Of course there are some defaults for these parameters, but you can always change them. If you configure in the MUA that you don't want to use AUTH, then you also don't enter any username and password. And with this setting the MUA does not try to use AUTH even if the server advertises it. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
