Kmail has a tab under its settings which you can use to test what authentication method the mailserver responds to. It starts from the most secure and works its way down the list until the server gives a positive response. It may be worth checking that security tab in Kmail (or whatever it is called - not at a Linux machine right now) and use the same method with Mozilla. Some ISP's could tighten up their SMTP policies and mailserver implementation without providing explicit instructions to their users. Things can get more complicated when ISP's start acquiring each other's business and try to amalgamate their mailserver addresses. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
