It looks that SMTP connection configuration in Roundcube is not as
simple as it could be. Can we make it more straightforward? I propose to: 1. Remove smtp_user and smtp_pass options and act as they would be set to %u and %p accordingly. Their modification could still be possible via plugin API. 2. Set the default smtp_port to 587.

I would prefer this not to be changed. Personally I did not find setting a few options in the config file to be complicated. If you want to add %u and %p as a default, don’t remove the option for an admin to override and set a global user/password. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Glen Eustace, GodZone Internet Services, a division of AGRE Enterprises Ltd., P.O.

I prefer not to change current smtp connection configurations, it’s flexible and already simple enough. For newly built mail servers, SMTP auth (with end user’s user/pass) and secure connection are required, but there’re few companies which have to use a hard-coded smtp user/pass for all outgoing emails (historical reason). ---- Zhang Huangbin, founder of iRedMail project: http://www.iredmail.org/ Time zone: GMT+8 (China/Beijing).

Making these values the default: yes. Removing them: no. ~Thomas _______________________________________________ Roundcube Development discussion mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev |
