RE: fix.your.open.relay.or.die.net

Sean,

Most remote users have some type of POP3/SMTP client on their Windoze
desktop.  SMTP relay is needed for them to send email.  The loose
"standard" is to have a secured SMTP using the same user ID/password as
POP3 or IMAP.  How would you propose setting up the SMTP server on the
AS/400 or Domino to service these users without the user/password
technique?

using
