Details

My ISP requires that I authenticate via POP 3 before sending a message via their SMTP server to prevent server abuse by spammers. The authentication is valid for a few minutes so it is annoying to have to fetch messages first before sending a message after authentication expired. I just would like to suggest a new feature that would let me tell a POP 3 account to authenticate a configuratle ammount of minutes before sending any messages through a given SMTP server. It would be an extra SMTP authentication mode.
