I have no idea why you would try smtp.localhost... but I'm sure you had your reasons. Since you are trying to do this with OS X, use 127.0.0.1 as the SMTP server name instead of localhost (or in your case, where you used smtp.localhost). For some really strange reason, OS X doesn't like to work with the locahost term despite the fact that is should be setup for it and it is more or less a *nix standard to accept it. But whatever, regardless of the reasons, I have found that OS X doesn't want to let Classic use the locahost term, so simply use 127.0.0.1 (which is what localhost means anyway, so you are using the direct IP address for it instead, which any IP stack will support) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
