Many ISP's use that type of >authentication as well. In addition, I thought, (sorry, not on an OS X machine), Mail.app has SMTP Auth turned on by default. (In most cases it is safe to leave SMTP Auth on even if the server doesn't support it, because a "proper" client will only attempt advertised auth types... so if none are advertised, it won't attempt it) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
