Yes it does - an alias. You don't say exactly what you're putting in as the SMTP server - your message implies you're putting in gmail-smtp.google.com but that returns "non-existant domain" when I try to look it up as does gmail-smtp.gmail.com. But when I lookup smtp.gmail.com, it tells me it's an alias for gmail-smtp.l.google.com which is why the error message refers to it (internally, your system looks up smtp.gmail.com, is told it's an alias for gmail-smtp.l.google.com, and then uses gmai-smtp.l.google.com from that point on in the mail transaction. As to why you're getting the root certificate error, are you current on your Mac OS X updates? I believe the root certificate file gets updated as part of OS X updates. If gmail is using a certificate authority that didn't exist when your last OS X update was released or whose root certificate has expired since then, you will get root certificate errors. -- Larry Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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/>
