So it sounds as if Richard does need SMTP AUTH and is getting the benefit of it on the second attempt since the first attempt does check the POP account using the correct password. (I recall that Yahoo once worked like this.) So if Richard goes to Tools/Accounts/this account, and clicks the long button that says "Advanced Sending Options" just below the SMP Server setting at the very bottom of the window, then checks the "SMTP server requires authentication" box and leaves the radio button at "Same settings as POP" without filling anything else in, he should now be able to send first time without getting that error. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
