I've run into this problem too.  Although I am running Git.

For the record here is my 6.0 config vs the 6.1

 15     'smtp' => array(
 16         'auth' => true,
 17         'debug' => false,
 18         'localhost' => 'localhost',
 19         'host' => 'mail.example.net',
 20         'port' => 587,
 21         'password' => null,
 22         'username' => null

437 #    'smtp' => array(
438 #        'auth' => true,
439 #        'localhost' => 'localhost',
440 #        'host' => 'mail.example.net',
441 #        'port' => 587,
442 #        'username' => null,
443 #        'password' => null,

I can't have all the users authenticating with my account.  What do you suggest?

Thanks.
