I remember your papers. That's why I began to use blat in the first place. I'm not broad siding you here, the article was indispensable at the time. Unfortunately, blat has no verbose option, but, since it does go through authentication, I'll bet the isp can detect it. There have not been any recent access changes, otherwise I'd have to change the account settings in outlook as well.

No, but there are a lot of other possibilities, including SMTP AUTH or other requirements. Their support staff should be able to tell you if they've made any recent changes. Many tools have a "Verbose" capture option that will let you see all of the validation messages that go back and forth between client and server. I've used that in a couple of installations where basic email was a problem to get set up. > Outlook can't be automated an longer due to the (in)security messages > it generates.
