[rhn-users] DRAC port to RedHat AS 4.0

Yeah, I use SMTPAuth for all my clients. It's robust, secure and
presents no extra load or speed degredation on the server.

drac and popb4smtp are "workaround" solutions for people that do not or
cannot configure smtpauth.

Smtpauth is by far the better (and right) solution though.

After losing the fight to (guessing here) add drac to dovecot, I did. I
had hoped that training my email server one time would be easier than
training my outside folks over and over. Now I'm going to have to
heavily document how to check the 2 boxes on Outlook so I don't spend
the rest of my life on the phone. My end users aren't top shelf computer
gurus (massive understatement). They are good at what they do, but not
at what I do.

I gave in (not easy to get me to do) when I read on the dovecot.org
message board that drac was not a good choice (another understatement).
When folks that close to the software developer suggest that the correct
path is not to use drac, plan B became plan A.

>From all the responses (zero) of ways to use drac, I am feeling better
about SMTPAUTH.
