If hosting multiple instances of Ledger-SMB, shouldn't the hosting  
provider simply make SMTP accommodations?

Likewise, who cares? LedgerSMB should throw email at Postfix or ssmtp  
on the local machine, and that should figure out how to handle the  
mail upstream.

These comments are not intended as a criticism - I would love to be  
educated if there's stuff that can't be done this way. But it seems  
like SMTP authentication, and adding complexities to that, is adding  
unnecessary features to LedgerSMB. If LedgerSMB can stick to its core  
competencies then it can do those better!
