I think you could try to override the username and password with a plugin in the compose_send hook, but that would probably have very bad consequences after the mail is sent. You might be able to hack in a compose_send_after hook to reset the user/pwd, but this just seems like asking for trouble. > > I'm not really sure what it means by "If you use older SquirrelMail > > version and want to use single user/password for SMTP authentication" > > > > Is it suggesting that there is an alternative to "single user/password"? > > No, I don't think there's any alternative except from not having a > user/password at all. I believe the intended meaning is that because SM 1.4.x does not support the $smtp_sitewide_xxxx functionality, you can mimic it by using the local relay to remap all your local usernames to the same single one required by your ISP, but that's a lot of work when you might just try 1.5.1 instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
