Humm... you may be SOL >Does anyone know if there is a rhyme or reason as to why what works on >one server won't work on another? I have full access to the mail server, >but the tech who set it up has no clue as to what my problem is. It all has to do with how the mail server is set up, and if it will accept an alternate character for the @ sign. The root of the problem is in the fact that emailer makes you combine the username and mail server into one field AND parses that field from left to right. To log on, all you need is the username, and the "correct" way to handle it is the way other mail clients do it, have two different fields, one for username, one for pop server. Of course, had the emailer developers thought of parsing the field backwards (right to left), the problem wouldn't exist anyway because then the first @ sign it hits would properly be the break point between the pop server and the username. Alas, none of this was an issue back in 96, so it wasn't something they expected to be a problem. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
