Hello TBUDL, I have been having problems setting up a couple of accounts with a particular provider that requires SMTP login.
Some of the accounts require "mail" to be in front of the server name and others do not. It seems as though The Bat! is adding "mail" when it is not there, causing a login failure on those accounts. This problem has been worked around for now, but I wonder if The Bat! is behaving badly in this instance. I am pasting below part of a message with log file that I was sent by the system administrator. > Aha.... look what I found in my DNS log > > 2002-11-03 22:16:07.335818500 cfc2a103:0b1c:9816 + 0001 > mail.dpac.kics.bc.ca > > 2002-11-19 17:21:40.346449500 cfc2a103:0f43:2c64 + 0001 > mail.watertalk.org 2002-11-20 17:10:04.912392500 cfc2a103:0f43:a408 > + 0001 mail.watertalk.org 2002-11-21 19:00:35.155772500 > ccf46603:fc7d:2706 + 00ff mail.watertalk.org.kics.bc.ca > > Is your clever mail program secretly putting "mail." in front of > whatever you type in the "SMTP server" box? mail.kics.bc.ca exists > but there is no mail.watertalk.org.
