SMPT Authorization support
I just checked in (on regebro-esmpt_support-branch) support for setting a username and password on the mailhost. Very nice and easy fix, and lot's of people want it. But I realized that what you actually might want is to have different login and password for each user, that is a possibility to pass username + password to send(). And maybe you want a setting to allow this or not. Or is this overkill? What do you think? (This is for all for 2.8, obviously). //Lennart

Yeah, I think that could be handy - especially where you have zope and your smtp-server authenticating off the same source (ldap?). Then if there was a question as to who sent a mail, you'd only have to look in the mail logs, and not try and cross-reference them with web logs. Maybe have it so it uses the userid+password if it's available, or a specified id/password when it's an anonymous user. Barry

IMHO, YAGNI. Besides, a lot of userfolders have encrypted passwords, including Zope's default. Cheers, Leo -- Ideas don't stay in some minds very long because they don't like solitary confinement.

Correct, complete overkill. jens
CHeck http://www.zope.org/Members/bowerymarc - I've had a product for this for some time. Just tested it with 2.6.2, still works (the 2.5 version). On Thursday, December 11, 2003, at 03:26 PM, Lennart Regebro wrote:

OK, 2 against 1 for. I won't make anything extra. I'll do the merge today or tomorrow or something.
Done (HEAD only of course). Enjoy.
