Gerry, Thanks for your time. FYI, my outgoing mail still sends no matter which of these I use for SMTP, I was stating I tried everything to get this other program to use any of those outgoing settings, but it would not work. I do not understand the first part of your message. As I stated, Outlook works just fine. I use only emails from my websites, so the incoming mail server is set to that of the web site. My problem is this other program. Does Earthlink./Mindspring somehow prevent these records from being sent? I'll see if I can explain this better. This program has several records. I have an email button in the program if I wish to send a certain record to someone. I have to set me default smtp server in this program first. It looks like it sends, but the recipient never gets the record. When I had NetZero, I could use this program just fine. Here is the name of the program in question: Database Designer www.ezyware.com Thank you. Jeff
