No no, you can send to any address you want. The problem comes in if you are connected to WorldNet, and try to use an Adelphia SMTP server to do the sending with... that will most likely fail. Same going the other way around, if you are on Adelphia, and try to use the WorldNet SMTP server to send, it will probably fail. BUT, if you use the SMTP server of whatever service you are currently connected it, it should work, provided they don't require authentication for all connections. It is quite possible that both always require authentication. >AOL doesn't seem to have the problem, i.e. sending mail frm AOL to >Adephia using CE works fine. AOL plays by its own rules... although in this instance, they aren't doing anything terribly odd. When you send using an AOL account, the Emailer to AOL gateway includes authentication. So when you connect to AOL, it knows you are a legit user, and doesn't reject sending the email. What you are seeing with the WorldNet/Adelphia situation is a lack of authentication. The SMTP server you are trying to use doesn't know that you are really a customer of the ISP, and so it is refusing to accept your email. You may be able to get around this by using the SMTP server for the service you are connected to at the time, or you may have to add authentication to your email (you can try collecting mail from that service right before sending, or you may have to use Baton Mail to add SMTP Authentication to Emailer) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
