Hi,

At the moment the emailing component isn't implemented to support 
authentication for smtp.  
To add this feature one would have to have a look at the CommonEmailer.  This 
would mean altering the configuration to allow specification of username and 
password.  Then in the class the mail session should have a property 
mail.smtp.auth set to true if there is authentication settings available.  
When opening a connection to the smtp server the username and password need 
to be passed to the Transport.connect() method.
The emailer also only supports smtp.  So if someone wants to use smtps then 
this would also require some extra coding.  I haven't had much experience 
with certificates in java so I'd have to look up on how to go about this.
