Quote from: wingco1 Not using any authentication at all.
You will need to use authentication if you're not connecting from our network.
Edit: I'm on network but SMTP authentication using your account seems to work from here:
~$ telnet relay.plus.net 25
Trying 212.159.8.107...
Connected to relay.plus.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 avasout04 smtp relay.plus.net
ehlo avasout

This won't stop you sending an email via relay.plus.net using your username and password though. You just need to ensure you're not sending from or too your newly created Plusnet email address.

You /can/ authenticate using your Member Centre details. As jelv has suggested though, until we offer SSL/TLS, you're probably better to create an additional mailbox with a separate password for use when sending mail.
e.g. create an additional mailbox here called 'smtp' and choose a unique password. You would then send email using the username 'username+smtp' (minus quotes and replacing 'username' with your actual account username) and the newly created password.
