Sometimes, users of our software, which connects to SMTP servers, put in a password, but no username. (Or, rather, their browsers' autocomplete specifies a password, but no username.)

Is there any valid SMTP configuration that has a password and no username? Are we safe in ignoring any password when there is no username?
