Jan, I would dearly love to use SMTP AUTH with Earthlink, as that is my main ISP. I've been in the situation you have described (in a hotel with broadband access, unable to send mail via Earthlink) where it would have been extremely useful. So...
You say you put "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as the send mail server. Is that "@" sign right, or should it be a period: "smtpauth.earthlink.net"? Another related question: There are two situations where I have gotten the message about relaying being denied. 1. Attempting to send mail via Earthlink's SMTP server while connected through another service, like a hotel's broadband connection. 2. Attempting to send mail via _someone else's_ SMTP server that allows SMTP authorization (like mac.com's) while connected through Earthlink. Earthlink refuses to relay the message. I'm assuming that your solution works only for #1 and not for #2. Do you know?
