Subj : SMTP questions, validation questions

Hello,

Very new to BBBS but not to running BBSes.  Question about outbound Internet
e-mail.  I find no reference in the manual to whether BBBS is able to directly
connect to a mail server for delivery without the use of a smarthost?  If not,
are there any mail authentication options available?  All mail hosts these
days allow mail relaying without some kind of authentication, and I don't have
IP whitelisting available to me.  I suppose another option would be to run a
local postfix server that has the sole purpose of delivering email exported
from BBBS?  I guess I would have to put it on a port other than 25 since BBBS
is listening on that port for incoming mail?

Also, is there anything available to capture e-mail addresses for new telnet
and/or http users and perform verification of that e-mail address in order to
validate the user?  Looks like the only utility I see to do that is designed
to run with BBBS and Windows.

Thanks,
Chris
