The email client authenticates each time it sends mail. Once an email client is done sending and/or recieving mail the connection with mail server is over. If the password is not saved the client will be prompted each time mail is sent or recieved. The email client authentication SMTP AUTH information is generally the same as the email login so there isn't extra information to add. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Philip Kapusta Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 7:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP AUTH time out period? When using SMTP AUTH to relay mail through an IMail 7 server, is there a timeout period that (if exceeded) would cause the user's attempt to send mail to fail? IOW, if the user is using custom software, and issues a command to connect / login to the iMail server via SMTP AUTH at let's say 12:00pm, but his code doesn't start to send mail until 12:20pm, will the user receive a time out error when he sends his first message, or will a login at 12:00pm be sufficient enough so that the mail that is sent 20 minutes later will still be accepted?
