The password did disappear twice when I changed it in the Arachne PPP
Dialer (first time) or with Arachne Setup (second time).
The initial 'newby' installation by Manual Setup was OK.
Just changing arachne.cfg is OK and stays OK... the trouble is you do
not know the password is gone. It's not just the password but the whole
line "Password **********" so not only the asterixes.

I am entering by their local phone number, give PPPpasword + username,
so I am alredy authenticated. For mail downloading they want a
POP3password and username (understandable) and for SMTP uploading again
a SMPT-password and username are wanted (I suppose).
If I send an e-mail to myself... in the TO field [EMAIL PROTECTED] the
relaying is not denied!
I tried to send a message using the CC field to give the email adress
where I wanted the mail to... now relaying was not denied but the mail
was not relayed to the adress given in the CC field either.
There must be a way to trick the verification... manualy for a start?
