I tried this and still can't get AlertIf to work. This is what I did: I set smtp server to smtp.imageview.us Authentication to Auth Login I set my user id and password that is in outlook express Sender name = myABat and email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient name = razzbarry and email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Outlook Express has these settings: Properties/Servers outgoing SMTP is set to smtp.imageview.us Autgoing mail server requires authentication which is set to the same user id and password I used above. Properties/Advanced shows the outgoing smtp port is 587 and SSL is NOT required. When I press test I get a message Failed to connect to SMTP server 221 smtp.imageview.us. Is there anything obvious I did wrong? I don't have any trouble sending charts via email. Why do I have trouble sending email using AlertIf? I don't see why AlertIf can't default to the same email address as the one I use for sending charts, unless I choose to send the alert elsewhere.
