Normal.  The SMTP process is not an interactive protocol it just reads what to have in the password entry and sends it to the server.   You need to manually enter the username and password in the SMTP security setup if you want to leave the POP3 setup password blank.

Hello

Recently I discovered some problems with authentication to SMTP server. When I try to send message I'm getting "Mail Delivery Failure" witch tells me "554 5.7.1 <email_addres>: Relay access denied"

My settings:
POP3 - login entered, but no password (I'm asked at first check)
SMTP - "Login to SMTP server using POP3 username/password"

When I enter password in pop3 or smtp settings everything works fine. So it seems that Pegasus try login with blank password and don't use this entered when checking new mail.

Is this behaviour normal or its some kind of bug?

For what reason don't you enter the password??

[quote]SMTP - "Login to SMTP server using POP3 username/password"[/quote]

There is - as you wrote above - no password in the POP3-definiton. So SMTP can't use one - asumes blank. Do it the same way as in POP3-definition ... enter username without password.

Safety and memory training.

Yes I tried enter only username in smtp settings, but PM don't ask for password.
