Again, why can't you ask your server administrator this? There is a scheme called POP-before-SMTP which is a poor man's version of authenticated SMTP. Basically, if the server receives a successful POP3 login from a given IP address, it will then temporarily allow SMTP relaying from the same IP address. Kind of like walking up to a McDonald's after hours, tapping on the drive-through window to place an order, after which they will unlock the front door for 5 minutes. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
