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... -- Joshua -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
