I saw something similar with a client. she was using outlook express and on an sbc dsl connection. but was sending email for her roadrunner account. she was on sbc's net, and using sbc's mail server, but sometimes, not always, but most of the time, it would tell her that relaying was denied because of an invalid FROM address. looked like there were several actual mail servers behind a round-robin dns name and some had settings to filter on the from and only allow sbcglobal.net in the from. what a pain in the rear. > > Dale > > :-) > > -- > To err is human, I'm most certainly human. > > I have four rigs: > > 1: Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now > two 80GB hard drives.
