Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
Better yet, try to name 16 mail clients people _actually use_ which DON'T, other than MUA-only programs like mailx and mutt with no SMTP support at all. When I worked at a mediumish sized hosting company with probably well over 100k mail users, I can't _ever_ recall hearing about a complaint of a customer using a mail client that didn't support SMTP auth.
Where are all these ISPs requiring SMTP AUTH. I don't see them, anywhere. This same story was given about Pop-before-SMTP in 1997. Supposedly, "everyone did it", but only a few small companies actually did it. --Dean -- Av8 Internet Prepared to pay a premium for better service? www.av8.net faster, more reliable, better service 617 344 9000
