Well, that is not consistant with what I have seen! If after using the 'kill'
there are SMTP32 processes, then that would explain what is happening, kill is
not working. It is NOT necessary to stop the SMTP service before using Kill
(that would give the situation you see!). If all else fails, then restart the
computer. This will end all tasks and after the restart, you should be alble
to use the Send One.
As for the bad username/password, the fact that it is transient would mean
that it is not really a problem, especially if you are having to re-type this
info. Lets look at one problem at a time, for now.
