Re: Smtp authentication

Since all my users are not very computer savy I will have eliminate vpn or

that the md-5 authentication works. If there is a wifi spot blocking smtp
then they will just have to deal with it. But I have yet to run across one
yet that blocked me from using my own smtp server. Note I do not mean my
laptop running as an smtp server but connecting to a dedicate server with a
correct reverse record. My main concern is sending their passwords over the
internet.

Well, MD5 will encrypt the passwords in this case.

If you don't have issues with blocked smtp ports why change the smtp port on the server?
