Hi Clint, I was referring to something like the two programs that are discussed at:
"http://www.lawtechguru.com/archives/2004/04/19_free_email_ut ilities_for_your_pc.html." It appears as if there is no way to make Eudora 3.06 authenticate correctly for the EarthLink SMTP server. I was able to use the EarthLink SMTP server till two days ago when they apparently made changes to the authentication process. Thank you, Tom ** Original Message From: Support-OrpheusComputing.com ** >Hey Tom. Not sure what you mean by "SMTP program" (or what you >need to do).
