Carrzkiss, I can't answer your question. However, there is something strange going on with various email clients. The problem I described yesterday was only occurring in Outlook 2000 but not in Outlook Express. In Outlook Express, we did not have to turn on SECURE PASSWORD for MSN users.
I saw the strange error message in Outlook 2002. The send/receive error displayed a security alert which referred me to a certain web page http://supportservices.msn.com/us/smtptool/default.asp -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of carrzkiss Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 1:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Had new issue for Outlook 2002 users connected to MSN as ISP Hello Dan; This is of no help to the issue at hand, But may be something of similarity to what I have experience over here, on for some of my customers?? I have a " Charter Pipeline Cable Modem Commercial" And in Outlook Express & Office Outlook 2000 .......... We are unable to send out mail With both smtp & pop3 being "" mail.carrz-fox-fire.com "" To the outside world, BUT I am running a " Mozilla Mail Client" on my 2000 Pro machine And I am able to send out to the world on it. Could you tell me if this is similar to the error that your clients would receive?? ********** The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject 'just a little test', Account: 'Delphi', Server: 'mail.carrz-fox-fire.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 not local host hotmail.com, not a gateway', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 ************** Thank You Wayne > Several people that work for us have dial-up service through MSN.
