I want to use smtp daemon that will manage a queue of outgoing mails and use a relay host to send mails. Many of them fit the bill. No problem so far. The relay host requires authentication. I'd like to store the authentication details on client side - as non root user. Many client programs do that who invoke sendmail. But that doesn't give you queue ability. The daemon may need authnetication details not only at the time of submitting a mail to queue but also when it for example has to retry sending mails. This takes away the flexibility of specifying relay host and auth details entirely on client side. I don't think it's a totally unmeetable requirement technically, though I do not know of a daemon that provides this flexibility or how to configure one with such flexibility.
