Ah, careful reading (not Sunday evening reading) is your friend. I
missed the above paragraph. The JNDI part I was clear on. What I missed
was the "Additional resource attributes and values will be converted to
properties" part. This appears in the Tomcat 7 documentation, but not
the Tomcat 6 documentation.
You can find big lists of properties that can you set in the following
locations:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/package-summary.html
http://javamail.kenai.com/nonav/javadocs/com/sun/mail/smtp/package-summary.html
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/internet/package-summary.html
There are a lot of properties available, but unfortunately there is no
password. However, the hint is there (in the paragraph that you quoted).
After trolling the source for Tomcat 6 (and a bit of searching on the
Internet), it appears that a password can be specified. The source in
question is:
org.apache.naming.factory.MailSessionFactory.java
The attribute is password (in the Resource definition). That looks like
the only additional (non JavaMail API) attribute / property that this
factory supports (hence the hint).
I suppose it's time to set up postfix.
Not a terrible idea, though not strictly necessary.

I've never been fond of maintaining the same information in multiple
places, so postfix is probably good in this environment.
Sounds like I should submit a couple of patches to the documentation.
1. Add the paragraph from Tomcat 7 back into Tomcat 6
2. Add a paragraph to both stating that Tomcat's MailSessionFactory
supports "password" as the only additional attribute / property.
Thanks, Chris.
. . . . just my two cents.
