Let me understand this.
Your network provider is Comcast and you are trying to send email that
shows the mail is sent from your own domain?

Comcast definitely forces you to use smtp.comcast.net to prevent from
spamming.  At least that is how my Concast service does.  I doubt this is
PM related problem because Concast told me about this when I asked them
why I can't use mail.a-no-ne.com for my SMTP.

You should be able to send mail through your ISP's relay as "From: mickey
mouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" and have it work properly, unless they have
some kind of filtering in place specifically for that (not real common
though AFAIK).

I asked if you could provide the entire error message being returned from
your server; are you unable to do this?

(Your server is replying with some string that begins
"pcp04713208pcs.plsntv01.nj.comcast.net ([192.168.1.2]) [68.46.136.105]
is", but we don't know what comes after the "is".  This is like me
phoning the police and saying "Help! I'm..." and then pleading to others,
"is there anything you can do to help me, or what?")

Hiro,

Thanks for your time and thoughts.

>This could meant some spam blocker is at its work.
I don't have spam blocking set up. I can control this.

>Your ISP doesn't allow routing?
But I can send from com-advantage.com (my domain) using Apple's Mail or
webmail... just not PM.

>Your ISP pings your domain trying to make sure your domain is legit but
>verification fails?
Again, it seems a PM specific problem.

>Your SMTP needs specific port for authentication?
No... Check that. 

>These days, it is almost impossible to use out-net SMTP.  Why not use in-
>net SMTP (use your ISP's SMTP)?
I am using mostly comcast... I have to, but there are times when I want
my domain's name associated with my email.

Ben and Andy,

Thanks.

>Do you not have an outbound SMTP server on your LAN that you can use?
No. I'm renting/reselling space on well connected servers at
TVIhosting.com. Super nice admin. He's spent a lot of time on this and
the problem is not on his server. 

I can send email from my com-advantage.com accounts from other email
apps... just not PowerMail. 

I am using my ISP for mail, but there's a 10 meg limit, and at times, I
want to be more professional with the email address reflecting my company.

> 
This looks interesting, but I want to fix what's not working correctly
with PM... not use a round about fix.

As far as anyone can tell... there's no simple thing that fixes this?
