I made a full install of kolab at home , where I have a
adsl connection. When sending mail using smtp server
of my provider I have to authenticate , but when I use
my kolab server , I don't , allthough my default mail account
is the email account with my provider, the kolab server
relays the mail to the smtp server of my provider. Works excellent
as a test install, but how is this secure?
