This software almost does what I need, but I can't quite
get it to work.

I need to send grade e-mails to students, but my ISP's
mail server needs AUTH and my grading program doesn't
support SMTP login or AUTH.

This is what I've tried:

Grade Program sends to Emdras and then Emdras sends
to my ISP's mail server (with SMTP login or AUTH added).

It almost works, but my ISP's mail server will not send
the messages since it tells me that "551 Unauthorized
relaying not allowed here." It is detecting that Emdras
isn't the original email program and is only relaying the
messages, so it still will not send them.

It would be nice to make a function that hides the fact
that the messages are being relayed and makes them
look like original email messages from an e-mail client.
Seems like this shouldn't be too hard to do.

I tried another program called Blueberry Auth that claims
to be able to do this, but it didn't work either.

This would help me a whole bunch since the only other
way I can figure out to get around my problem is to
export all the grades to a database, do a mail merge,
and then send them out through my main e-mail client
that supports Auth. This would be a huge pain with the
number of assignments and grades that would need to
be exported.

Thanks,

Scott
