How is SMTP authentication handled at JodoHost?

I have a client on another service who is trying to set up a multifunction printer that can send emails. Because the other service only uses POP before SMTP, they cannot use the printer for sending emails.

Does JH allow direct SMTP authentication?
 
Thanks for the info. Just so I'm understanding this properly, there are 2 ways of authenticating to send email through the JH servers:
  1. POP before SMTP: users must log on to the POP server, after which they are authenticated for SMTP
  2. SMTP authentication: users do not have to connect to the POP server, but can send their address/password information directly to the SMTP server when sending email.
Sorry about being so dumb, but I just got on this client's good side and want to keep the good will going.
 
Yes, you are correct. POP before SMTP, is just to make it easy for the users.
 
I've tested the email connection to smtp server on my domains and it turned out that I do not have to specify the option to get authorized by pop server before sending emails.
Why?
