I see the argument. The objective here is to allow relay by Linux laptops running qmail which receive mail from Pine running on the laptops. SMTP server would have SMTP level virus and spam check to counter this problem.
msmtp. you can teach pine to use that instead of the /usr/(lib|bin)/sendmail binary. it handles that problem nicely for you.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into it.
otherwise mtas like postfix can talk smtp auth to other mail servers aswell. [1] [2] [3] Even Qmail can do it some how: http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html
I can get qmail-smtpd to do SMTP AUTH, patching against qmail-1.03. I can also get qmail-remote to do SMTP AUTH, patching against qmail-1.03. But I am having trouble getting them to work with qmail-1.03 plus all the other patches that I want.
But like I said, this is getting off-topic. My original post was about vpopmail authentication to get POP-before-SMTP changed between Dovecot 1.0.beta3 and 1.0.beta8.
maybe look for an MTA that doesnt need so much patching? postfix is a pretty nice alternative.
