Most likely a security setting on Earthlink -- you must be connected via Earthlink to send mail via their server. Some ISP's will let you authenticate yourself by checking mail first (which uses your password), then if you send soon after from the same IP it'll allow you. (This is to prevent spam relaying.) You could try that, but if you're going to keep dialling in via your Uni account, change your SMTP setting to their SMTP server (it'll be stated on their support pages). This will not affect receiving mail, these are two different functions and servers. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
