I promise, cross my heart, the only info I get on the logs are the e-mail address of the person you send it t, the subject line and the time & date, cross my heart.

Pop3 and SMTP are totaly different, if you authenticate on the pop3 only the pop3 server can view the log in details, they are normally very secure, I wouldn't ask people to do this if it was unsecure in any way or would jeaperdise there details in any way.

POP3 auth before SMTP is common purely to stop people abusing smtp servers...

If he doesn't require auth then give it a go, but I'd secure up your smtp server or people will quickly find it to send spam through

Cheers Tim,

I will soon be ticking the box that says allow access only from local machines, I just want a bit of public Beta testing first lol.

Cheers for clearing that one up m8.
