------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 17 12:38:32 -0700 2006 ------- The Mail Merge wizard has an option to send e-mail as the "output" from printing. The e-mails are sent using the SMTP settings in 'Tools -> Options -> Open Office.org Writer -> Mail Merge E-mail'. Using the functionality to send messages is not possible when you use your ISP SMTP server. This produces an error message with the information that the e- mail address you stated in the settings is not allowed or something like that. The exact error message cannot be stated here (refer to issue 64436, http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=64436), but it was shown the first time I tried to use Mail Merger to send e-mails. For a normal user like me, then I'd not be using a local SMTP server to send the e-mail. I will be using the SMTP server my ISP is putting at my disposal. Thus the authentication etc. should be made by him - and not built-in to the core of the Mail Merge functionality. Alternative, it should be possible to state a setting saying 'by-pass local security check'. I understand the purpose, but to the use that a normal user will have (like me - managing multiple sport clubs and ad-hoc e-mailing), then the current implementation is not good enough. And the current state is that I have to stick with MS Office to do the job for me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
