On this thread - does Qpopper allow one to send using authenticated POP3? My shell provider - mcs.net shut off SMTP relaying quite some time ago. I was told by one of the head gurus to switch my email client to POP3 for sending (as MCS is not my internet provider). This has worked great as it only accepts mail from me if I put my username and password in (apparently, this feature is not well known, because even the tech support guys at mcs.net argued with me for 10 minutes (on my dime) that you cannot send with POP3 - I said "I've been doing it for months").
