It lets you set up your Mac as an SMTP server with one click of the mouse. You can then send emails via a special account in Apple Mail, regardless of where you are. If you can get an Internet connection, it will usually work. Now, I haven't tried it with Emailer but maybe Chris or someone would like to do this and report back?> Well -- I didn't understand the reason WHY, i.e., "ISPs don't permit relaying," but I expected to have to be able to connect to my own ISP in order to do email while I'm away from home this week -- and as such, as preparation for my trip, I configured my iBook modem with my ISP's access numbers from HERE before leaving. But once I got here, I discovered, much to my pleasantly shocked surprise, that I AM able to pick up AND send email while wirelessly connected to the "house" ISP instead of my own. What I was missing was a way to send out email on CE from a *public wifi network* -- for which Chris did make a patch, and to which I was given a download link last night. Oh yeah, now I recall the reason why I didn't expect to be able to do my email from here unless I was connected to my own ISP -- I had thought that since my email resides on MY ISP's mailserver, and my boyfriend uses a different ISP from me (and it's HIS ISP which is hooked up here, obviously), I would need to connect to "my" server to be able to do my email. Somehow though, I AM able to use his connection, though, which makes things easier for both of us. And now that I have Chris's patch, if I'm ever on the road and stop somewhere, or decide to eat at that diner on my way home from work that turned into a wireless internet cafe -- I'm set for email! :-) ~Yersinia. ________ "As you may have heard, the U.S. is putting together a constitution for Iraq.
