Re: [Phpgroupware-users] smtp auth in email app? |

Hi Chris,
thanks for your help.
There is two things I would like to resist on: first is that relying on IP is
quite
insecure. That can be spoofed, that is why I would like to have smtp auth.
The other thing is that anglemail seems to try tls when auth-ing for imap
(there are
maillog-entries looking like that). That means at least it can use STARTTLS,
right?
But then, why should tls be implemented and smtp auth not?
So I would like to know - if possible - who the maintainer of the email app is
and
if I can ask him/her for that.
