If not, any suggestions? I had much the same thing until I played around with the ports and with the security settings - i.e. whether the server requires encryption and what authentication method. Clicking to check what the server required - which sounds like a pretty sound notion - didn't help at all (!) so I had to try out different combinations till I found one that did work. If it's of any help my smtp now works perfectly with no encryption and LOGIN authentication. The port I'm using is 587. Jeff ___________________________________________________ .
