[Bob Jolliffe <bobjolliffe@xxxxxxxxx>]

You are right of course.  The "fix" fixed only one of the 3 issues and
that incompletely.  Call it a plaster rather than a fix.

A proper fix requires the addition of fields in the email setup
configuration which currently has just hostname, username and
password.

In addition what is required are:
port number, reply to address (these could be populated with defaults)
and probably a checkbox for no smtp authentication required.

I know Lars was concerned about having too much to configure but I
think the above would be fine provided there were sensible defaults.
Lars, what do you think.

Talking of which, I don't know how most implementations are
configuring mail, but for an internet hosted server (which is
increasingly our target) I *think* the most sensible
zero-configuration default is to just point to localhost:25 with no
authentication.  I think most internet servers will have a local exim
or postfix installed for sending out system alerts and the like.  If
not they probably should :-)
