Hey Tom. Not sure what you mean by "SMTP program" (or what you need to do). Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know, but SMTP is the OUTgoing email protocol by your ISP (Earthlink). It's usually something like mail.ISPname.net (or .com if that applies). I believe you have a website or two, if your hosts have an SMTP server on your domains (such as mine do), you can then use your own domain's SMTP server. However, and unfortunately, many ISP's now are FORCING us to use their buggy screwed-up SMTP outgoing server and there's nothing you can do about that.
So first you have to find out if Earthlink is blocking I think it is port 25 (the mail server) for other domains other than their own. If they are not, and your websites have their own SMTP server, then its' best to use your websites' outgoing server which should work with any email program. There are some exceptions. In the case of web-based email like Gmail for example, they now have settings where you can send and receive Gmail FROM OE or most other email programs, and in those cases you CAN (and have to) use Gmail's incoming POP3 and outgoing SMTP server. This works even if your ISP is forcing you to use their own SMTP server. If you need an "SMTP program" for something else, you may want to look into this. http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm It has an SMTP server built in and is free. It could be that you just don't have all the settings set correctly in Eudora. I've never used it, but I'm sure someone on the list can help you go through the settings to make sure they are correct for Earthlink (as opposed to asking Earthlink and probably getting the run-around). -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does anyone have a recommendation for an SMTP program? I found quite a few of them when searching on Google. I prefer to use Eudora 3.06 but apparently it does not support the type of SMTP authentication now used by EarthLink. I have DSL service with EarthLink and, so far, happy with it except for the SMTP problem. Thank you, Tom Dimeo ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
