for the adelphia guys

[Justin Bennett]

We have the same sort of issue. We have salesmen all over the world, I 
refuse to forward email to their personal email accounts (to much of 
their dismay, checking 2 accounts is just too hard....),  and all 
buisiness email is sent to their dynabrade.com account. So they setup 
their favorite client, unfortunatly usually outlook to do imap, and I 
have an SMTP server I allow relaying only if they authenticate first. 
It's just one more username/password combo I need to worry about setting 
up when we get a new hire.. :)
