Only if you have "Enabled Authentication" on your mail client. Which includes entering your user ID and password in your SMTP settings. All the email accounts on various ISPs I've dealt with supported SMTP authentication. But you do have to configure it on your end. Most ISPs allow mail relay from within their network. Some ISPs support an "automatic" authentication if you have accessed your POP account within very recently (15 seconds). This doesn't always work if your mail client tries to send and check mail simultaneously or if you are not queuing outgoing mail. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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).
