No, the site I am creating is not on the live.com server, so in this case,
looks like I would be relaying it. From what you said, looks like POP3,
pop3.live.com is not going to work
either.
I have set up Windows Mail as my default mail program, but if relaying is not
going to work, then which addresses can I use to send emails to recipients who
use the site?
Thanks for your help.
Alice
