Hey Len,
Thanks for the info. I think I understand now. However, the SMTP AUTH is not
working totally correct yet with IMail 6.03 SMTP Patch is it? I have the server
totally upgraded now, but I thought people were still having problems with it?
Also, VERY TRUE about GTE! They won't loosen up! I'm currently in search of
another ISP in South-Eastern Indiana. Where I am at, they are very limited due to
EVERYWHERE being Long Distance! Small town thing!
Thanks Again!
Grant
