The message isnt the problem. It wont be outlook, it'll be the mail server that they use to send the mail. It's sent some command that isnt a SMTP command. Find out what their SMTP posting host is and telnet to it's port 25. It should identify itself (i.e. it's product name) when you connect. Once we know what that is, we can look up what it supports and maybe find the offending command. klint. +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ : Klint Gore : "Non rhyming : : EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : slang - the : : Snail : A.B.R.I. : possibilities : : Mail University of New England : are useless" : : Armidale NSW 2351 Australia : L.J.J. : : Fax : +61 2 6772 5376 : : +---------------------------------------+-----------------+ This is the discussion list for the IMS Free email server software.
