hello; what company are you with? there are some that are a little tricky. for example i have an account with people pc where i have to use smtpauth instead of smtp or it won't work. also, some require authentication be set and some are just as happy with it set to none. and on my yahoo business mail account sometimes it will send and sometimes it won't. in my aol account sometimes it will reject a particular email that address that is just fine. don't give up yet, macs are good machines and they usually play nice. take care, max On Apr 14, 2012, at 12:13 AM, Veronica Elsea wrote:
