What you're looking for is SMTP AUTH, which has nothing to do with Qpopper. Qpopper is POP3 server software, not SMTP server software, so it is responsible only for delivering mail from the mail server to your users' POP3 mail client software. Mail sent the other direction - from your users' POP3 mail client software to the mail server - is accepted by your mail transport agent (your SMTP server software), not by Qpopper. If you're using a Solaris box, the MTA is probably Sendmail. Recent versions of sendmail (8.10 and later I think) can be compiled to use SMTP AUTH. You're probably using the SMI distribution of sendmail, and AFAIK there's no way to add SMTP AUTH to that. You'll need to download the source code from www.sendmail.org and compile it yourself. -- Chip Old (Francis E.
