Why wouldn't the password be available? If you are using SMTP-AUTH then
you are passing a username and password to authenticate with. So why not
take that username and password, pass it in to IMAP port 143 and see if
it validates? If so - then you allow the message to be sent.
Am I missing something? Seems really simple to me.
