even after i added the LOGIN authenticator, both OE and thunderbird
must check the "smtp require username/password" box.
i wonder why thunderbird acts like OE (??) that only making use of
AUTH LOGIN authenticator.

The other 2 (AUTH PLAIN and AUTH CRAM-MD5) are used for login to POP/IMAP ???

Right now, the situation is the client needs to enter password TWICE,
1 for pop email off their mailbox, 1 for sending mail from my server.

client must not appreciate that coz they didn't have to in the past
(sendmail, qmail).. Any solution to this?


a million thx to all you guys
