Typically an organization will have thier own SMTP server internally that outgoing mail will use that doesn't require credentials but only accepts connections from inside the network. Similary, it's also typical to run an SMTP daemon on the local machine (i.e. sendmail or qmail) that doesn't require any credentials but only accepts connections from localhost. You usually only need credentials if your using a publicly accessible external SMTP server (like google's, where you login with your gmail account) but that's less common.<br><br></div><div>- Chuck<br></div></div></div></div>
