Unfortuanly, I am hamstrung to the wishes of my email provider who also hosts my web service. It is true that I could dump the email provider and go to another, but when they decide to implement their silly rules for spam elimination, then what do I do. Find another? It is just not practical. I have also discovered that my email provider now requires POP before SMTP. This is extremely frustrating since most email clients will dump the outbox first then download from POP. My way around this is to send the email to my Norton Antivirus email scanner on the loclahost as a SMTP service and it scans everything while POP is downloading message. A for my problem with Lazarus not compiling and not fining the contnrs unit, I believe I have this working now. Once I am sure that everything works correctly, I will post a message on what I did to get this working.
