Hello,

Very new to BBBS but not to running BBSes.  Question about outbound Internet 
e-mail.  I find no reference in the manual to whether BBBS is able to directly 
connect to a mail server for delivery without the use of a smarthost?  If not, 
are there any mail authentication options available?  All mail hosts these 
days allow mail relaying without some kind of authentication, and I don't have 
IP whitelisting available to me.  I suppose another option would be to run a 
local postfix server that has the sole purpose of delivering email exported 
from BBBS?  I guess I would have to put it on a port other than 25 since BBBS 
is listening on that port for incoming mail?

Also, is there anything available to capture e-mail addresses for new telnet 
and/or http users and perform verification of that e-mail address in order to 
validate the user?  Looks like the only utility I see to do that is designed 
to run with BBBS and Windows.   

Thanks,
Chris
