Normally, I would say they started using mail authentication and since you haven't authenticated, they won't let you send email. However, two things make me hesitant to proclaim that. 1: That should effect local addresses, so it should accept the test email to yourself. 2: The cox.net web site mentions nothing of needing mail authentication (and neither did the support people you spoke to I'd assume). BUT, it could still be an authentication issue, maybe they haven't updated their support info or people yet, and maybe the local account isn't really local (depends on how they have their mail servers setup). >I called tech support at Cox, and we determined that I couldn't send using >OE either.

That might help clue us in as to why it won't work in CE. >I hope I'm not doomed to a life with OE. Can anyone help? You are NEVER doomed to a life with OE. There are always options. Sometimes CE isn't one of them, but there is always another choice besides OE. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
