Thanks, Dan - I understand the relay risk you and Gerald brought up.
Fortunately, he comes from a teeny-tiny local ISP, and I think the risk
exposure is minimal.

Hmmm - interesting idea.  So you're saying that if he authenticates into one
account, the Raq will use that authentication for any other accounts as
well?

I thought - perhaps mistakingly so - that the "My outgoing server requires
authentication" business was separate than the POP before SMTP.  I just
assumed that he could check that box, but it would have no impact.

Thanks for the help, guys.
