Re: SMTP authentication from Jahia

Hello Philippe,

Thank you for your response!
The requirement for SMTP authentication orginates from our external 
hosting provider, who offers SMTP on localhost, but with authentication 
only. We share that server with other customers, so I am not in a 
position to judge whether this precaution is actually all that necessary...

Yours,
  Jurjan-Paul
