Great info... Thanks a ton. This will be resolved shortly. Here is a dumb question, and I think anyone who has restricted relaying has seen this, but I couldn't "read between the lines" in M$ support site about Outlook 97:
"All that is required for authentication is a valid account name which can be found in the Mailbox Information section of the Internet Mail Service for a users' specific profile" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q197869 As I go into each local machine to set the config to "My Outgoing server requires authentication", I found that Outlook 2000 and 2002 have this option, but 97 doesn't. Does the quote above (and y'alls experience) mean that Outlook 97 is always and automatically set for this, which then means that I only have to make this change for non-97 users?
