Thanks everybody, but still no joy on the Entourage. Oddly enough (it's not like me) I'd tried all the suggestions and even been to the "How To" page and still nuthin. here's the error message I get:
> The SMTP server for "Flashnet" does not recognize any of the authentication > methods supported by Entourage. To send mail, try disabling SMTP > authentication in the account settings or talk to your administrator. Well, My Administrator said, in effect, good luck Dude. And I've tried every combination in the panel and re-typed and re-started etc. Blank man here? >> From: "R. A.
