Leave out the 192.168.0.0 entry. In your e-mail program there should be a setting to send authentication to xmail when you are sending a message out through it. The same way that it sends authentication when you receive mail from xmail. If you are using Outlook Express go to Tools -> Accounts and then open the properties for you xmail account. Under the Servers tab you will see a check box for My Server Requires Authentication, check that box, that's all you have to do.
If you are using some other e-mail program and can't find how to enable send authentication then reply with the name of the program and version and I'm sure some one will know how to turn it on.
