I hope that I didn't give the impression that POP before SMTP was the only
way to solve the problem.  In fact, IMHO, POP before SMTP is one of the
*worst* ways to solve the problem.

But, John Ross specifically said he didn't understand how POP before SMTP
worked -- so, wanting to help, I explained how it worked.

Do you know if it's possible to make the iSeries SMTP server send
AUTH/SASL when relaying mail?  I figured SASL was usually sent from an MUA
to an MTA, rather than being used between two MTAs?
