When you go back home do you use your key or just walk straight in?
You see, something like a password or a key must be used if you want
authentication.
Or perhaps you do not know what authentication is? Authorization to
relay can be IP based, if you have absolute control on a certain
range of IPs that is a possibility (but pay attention if there are
windows machines!).
We already discussed the option that OE gives of using the same
authentication data as POP/IMAP, Eudora does not really give you the
option to enter the password twice, at least on the Mac. So what the
heck is the problem??
Presumably your users have to reenter the password every time they
attempt to send (and fail) simply because authentication (and thus
the sending process) fails.
