I don't see how it can. This config shows how fetchmail *gets* mail using pop3 authentication, the *sending* of mail has nothing to do with it. But then, thats probably what the OP meant. I don't think ISPs implement smtp authentication, they just perform an ip check to allow anybody on their network to use their smtp servers. -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
