The sendmail plugin supports smtp authentication as of June 2008. In order to use it you will need to add the two properties to your XWikiPreferences page. See: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPMAIL-10
If you open your XWikiPreferences in the class editor, you can use the box on the right to add the two string properties smtp_server_username and smtp_server_password. Add them as strings, and don't worry about the property configuration for them, the default should be fine. Now open XWikiPreferences in the object editor, and you will have to make sure you then expand the XWikiPreferences collapsed menu. At the bottom of that menu you will see the two new text fields for your smtp user name and password. I'm glad to hear it - it's proving to be a deal breaker, otherwise for my College. Care to enlighten me as to how one configures the SMTP username:password?
