It is possible to enable (force?) SMTP authentication using the  
$conf['mailer'] parameters in horde conf.php. In order to use the  
current logged in user's username and password, no username and  
password is specified in the conf file.
The problem is that the same settings are used for sending the email  
notifications for alerts, but the emails are sent from a cron script,  
so at that point no username and password are available, and the  
notifications fail with error message "authentication failed".

There should be a way to be able to use the above scenario.. (users  
send email using their own username and password and notification are  
sent either without authentication, or using a specific username and  
password?)
