Thank you for your reply, Craig. First, after checking the email a user can send for a period of 30 seconds after checking the email. After that the SMTP server denies the ability relay the message. And I believe the time is around 30 seconds.
I guess my question is does SIMS allow for SMTP authentication. I know how to do this on the client side (OE v.5.02) but not on the SIMS server side. By the way, I am using the free version of Communigator. Maybe I should upgrade to the pro version.
