Yes, this requires a username/password login to authorize mail to be sent. Many providers are now eliminating SMTP relay even for their own customers who might connect from work using SMTP. With POP3 to send mail, a person could connect to their personal ISP and send email from outside their ISP's

Is this something that requires a valid username/password to send mail? I am interested in anything like this for mailing and posting control. It wouldn't bother me a bit if the non-linux users had to use local dialup to send mail or news. They can wait for Microsoft to give them a new mail client

Finally solved my mouse problems (ps/2) and the locked keyboard. It dawned on me that the problem could conflicting IRQs. The /dev/psaux, I read elsewhere, uses IRQ 12 and the pcmcia card was also using the same IRQ. Now I began to see the problem after I have tried to install a new X using a .deb
