Oh, on the 20th email! Well that changes EVERYTHING! We need information to be able to help you. Use an email client like thunderbird and watch the email transaction, or use ethereal and sniff/follow the email transaction, or increase the logging on the server. Right now, you've not shown us how your server is configured. We have no logs to consult, only your word that they're okay, and we have no client to watch to see how the client treats the server. in short... GIVE US INFORMATION! You need to help us help you. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety'' Benjamin Franklin 1775
