You will not be able to use the live.com mail servers to send email to me (at GMail.com), for example. That is called relaying and more specifically, due to the lack of security, an open relay. If you want to use live.com to send email to someone not on their servers, then you would need to use authentication. This may not be just a case of a username/password, but also logging into your POP3 mailbox as a proof of a "real" program and user. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
