I have smtprelay.tab empty and "AllowSmtpVRFY" "1", and
#"EnableAuthSMTP-POP3"  "0"
in server.tab

My mail server doesn't ask for a username and password.

But I do however have have another server setup the exact same way and it
askes for a username and password when sending mail?

Any Ideas? smtpauth.tab is empty also on both servers.
