'Enabling authentication' is NOT something you can just do...your ISP has to support it, and if they do, you could probably already send e- mail through them when you're on the road. This is the reason for the popularity of web-based e-mail clients. Now if you have a gmail account, that IS authenticated, so you may be able to send mail through their SMTP server, but I'm not sure they send mail from another e-mail address even when authenticated. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
