If you do decide to use SMTP AUTH ( userid/password authentication ) ( and it not a
<BR>
cheezy windows thing.... it's the right thing to do ) you can use something like postfix
<BR>
( sendmail and qmail probably also support it ) that lets you specify a userid/password
<BR>
to use with SMTP connections if they are needed.
