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 
uthentication, 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
