username/password field not needed for SMTP. I can connect to Telebot both
for sending and receiving emails. Whether I connect for sending or
receiving, all the messages will be relayed through my own ISP's mail
servers, and this information will be found in the headers. The same
applies for emails with www.subdimension.com. Please let me know if you
would like to receive privately some test messages for your examination.
