If you are using an older email client, that doesn't support SMTP Auth,
you can use my program Baton Mail to add Auth to the mail stream. You can
download it from my web site at <http://www.mythtech.net/baton.html>
Also, Baton Mail will allow you to change the port your SMTP is going out
on (again, in case your email client doesn't support it). This will let
you bypass the SMTP blocking ISPs like earthlink are doing. (Or course,
you need to have some kind of port mapping on your server to redirect the
new port to SIMS... but I know some people already do that)
