If you are getting this error, then you likely are already using the SMTP Auth hacked version of Emailer. It is very possible your mail server doesn't support SMTP Authentication (or at least not the Login method). If you are sure you are not using the SMTP Auth hacked version, then are you running something like Baton Mail to provide authentication? Regular versions of Emailer should never be issuing the "AUTH LOGIN" command, so you should not see an error telling you it is an unrecognized command. If you want to know what version of Emailer you are running, do a Get Info on it, and check the version information. The SMTP Auth hacked version will have a "p3" at the end of the version number (the Version string will say "Claris Emailer 2.0v3 p3"). A regular version of Emailer will just say "Claris Emailer 2.0v3". >So advised by another I tried using an alternate >version of Emailer (I believe created by Chris) with >"SMTP" in the name.

The No Data was Available for Reading error using means there was a network failure. Make sure you have a valid connection to the internet. Can you go to a web site? If you can, it is possible your DNS server isn't returning correct info for the pop server. Try it again in a little while, if it still doesn't work, you can try pinging the pop server and see if you get a reply. I just tried pinging it, and I do not get a reply, so there is a good chance the server is offline right now. You may want to check with the server admin and see what the status is. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
