We use smtp-auth more as spam-blocker as for authentification. Everyone uses the same credentials. So clear-text is not a problem.
SMTP over SSL (SMTPS) works exactly the same as SMTP. So this patch should work as is. I have no idea on how to add ssl-support to SMTP. As I know SMTP/TLS is more common than SMTPS but would be much harder to implement than SMTPS. I'll try to use the existing SSL-code to add SMTPS-support. 2007/7/30, Jan-Henrik Haukeland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Looks useful.
