Are you sure CDO.Message uses OE configuration to send mail? The examples of CDO.Message usage that I see on the net appear to explicitly load some configuration. Try this for example, cdoSourceOutlookExpress = 2 s.Configuration.Load(cdoSourceOutlookExpress) before s.Send(). It looks like by default CDO.Message() will use the local IIS "Virtual SMTP Server" which refuses to relay by default. Ganesan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
