MIT network question: desktop linux, day three



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Folks,
Does MIT's SMTP server (outgoing.mit.edu) require authentication?  Day Three 
of the great Girlfriend Laptop Experiment: KMail is set up and works great 
via IMAP-SSL inbound.  When she tries to send mail (setup as SMTP via 
outgoing.mit.edu, as the instructions say), KMail bitches thusly:
5.7.1
relaying denied
proper authentication required

I've been playing along with the IS instructions on the web, but they don't 
say anything about authenticating with the SMTP server (authentication is 
marked as "optional."  
I guess we'll try Mozilla Mail next, followed by Evolution if that doesn't 
work.
