Just a quick check: Does it matter what address you send email to? If you can send to your ISP's address, but not to other addresses, that's a sign the ISP is blocking port 25. Or you might find that you only get blocked by certain domains, which would probably be an indication that your IP address is in some blacklist. The command you are using at the top should be sending via port 25, in about the most simple version possible. Unless you've done something _really_ weird, that should rule out 'not supported'. Beyond that... We're going to need a copy of the error message at least. Details matter. ;) What's actually failing (the actual command), and what does it say when it does it? Does everything _else_ work on this machine? Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
