Hello, Allie:

I've been a satisfied user of The Bat for 2-3 years.

About a year ago, I installed ChoiceMail (to control spam) in line with The Bat v. 1.62i. The SMTP (Port 25) and POP (Port 110) servers were then both changed to 127.0.01, for ChoiceMail.

A week ago, I changed from a dialup to a broadband connection (SBCGlobal). ChoiceMail now uses: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com.

1. ChoiceMail has an SMTP test button and that authenticates successfully.

2. Netscape (7.1) mail client sends fine, too, through Choicemail.

But I am unable to configure The Bat to send mail with SMTP authentication through ChoiceMail. (The Bat will still POP mail just fine.)

My System is Win 98SE on an Athon processor. There is a fire wall included with the DSL modem, and I have checked to be sure that SMTP is allowed. Does anybody have any ideas or better, some "deep" experience with all the SMTP settings in the Bat, or firewalls?


Thank you in advance.



Sincerely,



David Austen
