Yup, you need to authenticate first. Try collecting your email right before sending. If that doesn't work, you may need SMTP Authentication. You can give Baton Mail a whirl and see if it helps you (check my web site). >I then tried sending a test message to myself at same and another e-mail >address: >I received the self-sent message but not the one sent to another ISP. >What's the problem? That's because the message sent to the same address that was sending it, doesn't need to be authenticated. Locally served accounts don't get authenticated (if they did, no one would ever be able to send you a message from another mail server). But the one going to the remote address is leaving your mail server, so it isn't a local account, so it needs to be authenticated (if they didn't require this, the server would be an "open relay" and spammers just LOVE to find those). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
