Situation
What is the 'Do Not Allow AUTH LOGIN' option?
Resolution
To enable this feature see this KB.
The "Do not allow AUTH LOGIN" option makes it so servers trying to send messages through GWAVA can't use the auth login feature. The auth login is for any program that needs to authenticate to your email server, such as cell phone servers. It uses the user's email username and password to authenticate.
We have this feature so that you can disable auth login to prevent spammers from relaying off your GWAVA box if they know one of your user's login credentials.
The auth login option is what the server provides in it's list of options, when an email is being sent to the server.
