I see there are some pop3-before-smtp authentication patches.
But using pop3 before sending mail is awkward. So... why nobody
thought about a patch using a password in user's e-mail? :)
Any MUA allows user to enter his e-mail. ANY. Let's use it!
password#username@host. Check that password at mail from: point,
receive message if user's password is okay, strip password# from
all headers and continue the work...
What's wrong with this idea? I think I'm inventing a bicycle,
but there must be a good reason to reject it...
