How do your clients authenticate & connect to your SMTP port then to send email? Using SSL/TLS gives the email client the ability to perform SMTP-AUTH securely without having usernames/pws sent in the clear. If you are only running internal clients, you might just have an open relay for internal addresses, which would alleviate the need for SMTP-AUTH altogether, but people like me need to provide an option to allow external clients to connect to the server to send email. Hence the need for SMTP-AUTH or PopBeforeSMTP. Please correct me if I am wrong. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
