Good info, Paul.  Though clients are now doing SMTP Authentication, there
are some servers (like our university mail servers) which only know
XTND/XMIT.  Our mail servers won't accept outgoing mail from Entourage
unless I am on campus (where apparently my IP number is good enough to
authenticate me).

It was frustrating for me, too, until I figured out that I could send mail
from home using my personal ISP with the "From:" line set to my university
account.  As far as receivers are concerned, it comes from my U. account.
Just another "account" to set up in Entourage...
