Gentlemen,
Back in 1998, when there there where still many non-SMTP-AUTH capable
MUAs around, I made up a protocol to use "POP before SMTP" style
authorization in distributed environment, and wrote software
implementing it. It was running in production on our system until
recently (which gives 5+ years, wow!).
Nowdays, when most MUAs support SMTP AUTH, the method is probably not
relevant, but it is still within the ASRG agenda, so I thought that I'd
let you know. At least as a historical reference.
