basically - ATT is hosting your domain (theotherone.com) which is why the "%" - this tells ATT's SMTP/POP3 server(s) that the referenced account is NOT on te primary domain (ATT), and references the 'sub-domain' the "%theotherone.com" as the location of the email account. using ATT's smtp server (not your 'sub-domain' ) is going to correct because you(r) not running an SMTP server, ATT is and it lives on their primary domain. this email account works the same way - the account is referenced (in the settings) as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Deepskytech.com is the ISP (email host), Pghrepository is our domain being hosted at Deepskytech BUT - I use their SMTP server, so the smtp settings are mail.deepskytech.com If you care you can go to their web site and look over their instructions for setting up various email clients using this method: http://www.deepskytech.com/support.html ------------------- Chip Scheide Systems Coordinator Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh "And as a man, who is attached to a prostitute, is unfitted to choose or judge of a wife, so any prepossession in favour of a rotten constitution of government will disable us from discerning a good one."
