Outbound Mail Authentication

Kendra requires Outbound mail authentication to insure only users with a valid account with Kendra can send mail.  It will only work with the valid e-mail account and password issued for your Kendra mail account.

Since Netscape creates separate settings for each personality, it automatically activates outbound authentication.
