Is there another setting somewhere?
Things to check for: 1. Does the server mx00.mail.bellsouth.net support SMTP authentication? 2. If it does support authentication, which methods does it support? You can check this by connecting to it on port 25, and sending and EHLO command and seeing what is advertised. I tried to connect to it from here, but it doesn't advertise SMTP AUTH. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't support it, since it may only be advertising it to customer networks. -- Anand Buddhdev Celtel International ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
