>(1) How do I take advantage of Chris's FTP site, that is how do I get in >and get things out? Do I need a special program? (yes, I'm an FTP >virgin.)
Use any FTP application. To download, simply log into ftp.mythtech.net, and go to the Emailer directory. Download files via whatever method your FTP application uses (most decent ones will just let you drag the file to your computer... Fetch also offers a "Get File" button that will download the currently hilited file). To upload, simply log into ftp.mythtech.net and use the username of "public" with no password (that is, leave the password field blank). Then go to the Emailer directory, and upload using whatever method your FTP application uses (most good ones will just let you drag a file to the FTP window... Fetch also offers a "Put File" button that will open a standard Open/Save dialog asking you to select a file to upload) Please only use the FTP space for curtious trading of Emailer related stuff. Abuse of the site will cause me to remove it. (Abuse of the site is what caused me to have to require a username to upload) >(2) I have 3 email accounts that I use Emailer for. I somehow learned >how to set up my mac.com account to receive, don't know yet how to set it >up to send from it via Emailer. Just set the SMTP server to your ISPs outgoing mail server. Don't waste your time trying to use mac.com's server for outbound mail... there is no reason to do it, just use your ISPs mail server. >(3) My default account, from which I mostly send (NOT the account I sent >this from) is an account that my ISP gave me. I also like to sometimes >send from my older account, the one I am listed with on the Emailer List. > When I send email from this account I always have to send it twice for >it to go. The first attempt yields the log error message "Relaying not >allowed ** SMTP server error "554 DATA Transaction failed, no recipients > given" >My account set up is thus: >Email Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >SMTP Server: mail.chilesat.net > >I know this topic has been covered, and I had difficulty trying to >translate the advice to my account. What do I need to do so that this >account will send on first try? You can't set it up to send on the first try. It rejects it because the server requires you to authenticate first. When you check your email, you authenticate. Then you have a limited amount of time in which it will allow you to send. You can use some applescripts to cause emailer to always check email before sending email... but since you don't seem to have a problem sending with your ISPs mail server... why go thru hoops... make you life easy, and just use your ISPs mail server for all your outbound email. There is NO difference to the internet world whose mail server your email comes from. It won't make any difference to the reply address of the email, and the only people that will even know you used a different mail server will be those that are examining the mail headers... and if someone is that type of person, they will understand already that it makes no difference what server you use, so they won't care. In other words... make your life easy... just use your ISPs mail server for ALL outgoing email. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
