no, sorry I converted from sendmail to qmail my mistake bad wording,
anyways that was the solution I used with sendmail, now I am using qmail
and I dont know where to go, if you could point me to a man-page or
somewhere explaining it that would be cool, I just dont know where to go
from here, looked a round a bit with no luck.  I just basically want to
require passwords to be sent via smtps, so that it would be secure.
