Curiously my smtp access is now ok....it recognises me and I can now, send emails via outlook express....this started working on 26th July.
VMs smtp authentication checks are rare so you can send mail as any valid name in the system for months even years until the server suddenly asks for a password and you find that yours doesn't work. Of course you *could* wait until the genuine user supplies it. (on 26th July?)

Happened to me, I could even send mail by setting myself as "postmaster@virgin.net"
