Johann, I think your smtp-server & news-server need to be something like; smtp-server=smpt.best.com news-server=news.best.com substitude your isp's requirements here. Using localhost would be a problem for an outgoing ppp conection. (of course this is fine for your local mail!) -mike +--------------------------------------------------+ | Mike Nachlinger (408) 446-9914 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Apres Ski Club 1-888-APRESGO www.apres.org | +--------------------------------------------------+
