I'm a bit confused by your question. It sounds to me like your ISP has initiated the standard-don't-let-customers-send-SPAM response of blocking outgoing port 25 -- is that true? The smtp auth stuff is so that foreign clients can connect to your mail server, and authenticate themselves to your mail server, so that your mail server can then resend their mail to its destionation (i.e., to allow relaying). If you are not able to send mail from your computer now, then smpt auth (on the server side) will not help you. It sound to me what you want is to configure your mail client to do smtp auth to your *ISP's* mail server. How to set this up depends on your mail client and which smtp auth flavors Heller supports. It might be that the simplest thing for you to do is set your local smtp server to redirect mail to their smtp servers, via the sendmail smart host config option. Let me know what's actually going on and if any of up suppositions are true, and I should be able to better direct you. - Rob .
