What mail authorization methods are available?
POP before SMTP:
POP before SMTP is a method for authenticating users before they send mail through a mail server. This method does not apply to local email messages (email messages from/to local email accounts). If feature is enabled, then user must check for incoming email messages before sending email messages. For example: If you are using Outlook® Express® 5.5 then click the Receive All button before sending email messages. User must send the email message during the interval that is defined in the POP before SMTP field. Otherwise, the user must click the Receive All button again.

Sendmail Authentication:
When enabled, if a user wants to send email messages to external email addresses, then the user must login to the mail server by entering the user name and password. This is the same user name and password that were defined when creating email/ FTP account.
