If you set it up to email you stuff using e.g. your email account, you would |
| 21 |
also need authentication credentials: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
AuthUser=waltdnes@××××××××.org |
| 24 |
AuthPass=walters_secret_passwd |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
and to stop sending such info in the clear you would also use something like: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
UseSTARTTLS=YES |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
or |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
UseTLS=YES |
| 33 |
