Hi Folks,

I'm in a hurry this morning, so in brief, Eudora sucks as an email 
client. I have about 5 different IMAP capable clients and Eudora is the 
only one I had to pay money for. It's also the biggest pain to set up 
and get working with alternate ports etc. I no longer use it. Somehow I 
don't miss the flame detector ;)

OTH, going to the eudora.windows usenet group always turns up 
enthustiastic users (and maybe some of the team) that can help solve the 
problem. AUTH issues abound in that group and it sounds like that's what 
she's having.

Marjolein, POP before SMTP is a way to let roaming users (anyone with a 
non-fixed ip) send mail. According to sendmail folks, it should never be 
used and is a horrible kludge (but then ummm sendmail... nevermind!) 
What it does is build a  list of valid ips that it will allow to relay.

It is much "cleaner" to use AUTH and require users to enter their 
usernames and passwords before allowing them to relay.
