Should that be checked?
Don't set Claris Emailer to "Use Internet Config settings" unless you are sure that your Internet Control Panel is set up perfectly. It would be safer and more reliable to enter into the Claris Emailer's Email address field [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, you're approaching your forwarding backwards. Either you don't need a forward, or you should use Comcast itself to do the forward: 1) Don't use Claris Emailer to forward mail to you domain. Use Comcast's server settings. If you bring your email from Comcast to Claris Emailer, and then have Claris Emailer forward it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then bring the mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to Claris Emailer, you will be receiving two of every message. Call Comcast and ask them this: "Can I go into Comcast's online email settings and set it up so that any message received in my Comcast email box is automatically forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?" The answer to that is usually "yes," and setting it up is usually easy. 2) You don't need a forward. Just download the email from Comcast into Claris Emailer. When you reply to that email, set Claris Emailer's default "reply from" account to be your domain account. Tools -> Accounts -> Select one account -> Top right of Accounts window -> Make Default Then, when you can receive an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You reply with [EMAIL PROTECTED] When they next reply to you, they'll send their reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not to comcast. You can also send emails out to anyone who is sending to your comcast address "change my address to [EMAIL PROTECTED]". Best/Roger+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
