Hello,

The ChangeLog on Freshmeat.net said:

This release [...] adds a new optional IMAP setting that allows mail clients to use the IMAP login session to send outgoing mail, [...]

I was wondering what this exactly means. Is it now possible for a logged in IMAP-User to send a mail directly via IMAP and not via SMTP? If yes, how is the E-Mail sent on the IMAP-Server? Does it use the sendmail wrapper or does it user localhost:25 SMTP-Service to send it?

If it's the former I will have to change my Virus/Spam-Checking procedures....

Thanks for comment,

Jean-Pierre
