Ooops. A horrid mistake on my part. Must be my fatigue and
sitting in front of this screen for so many hours trying to complete
this book. Will it ever end? TBUDL provides short welcome breaks.

Anyway, I've used POP to both send and receive mail but yes,
SMTP is only for sending mail. Wie is therefore not being very clear
when he says he wants a change of SMTP *not* when sending mail. What
else would he be doing with it.

Interestingly, with regards to my two ISP's, if I'm connected
to either of them, I can only send messages where my reply address is
the e-mail address for that particular account. I can't simply use any
e-mail address. I will get the message about this ISP not relaying for
others etc. Is this right? Shouldn't I be able to send mail with any
e-mail address via SMTP A if I am connected to ISP A? I thought that
the relay block kicked in when trying to send mail via SMTP A when
connected to ISP B.
