that's just what I was getting at, how to make them the same for
RADIUS and Imail and postfix SMTP AUTH?

>(there's no law stating that pop3 user/pass has to be used for smtp auth).
no, but i think most people prefer it that way, and might even be
surprised that they can be different, and perplexed how to do it in
the mail client pgms.

ok, I can see where that would work, by excluding the Imail conection
completely.
