RE: SMTP error
Progress Report g The client uses Outlook which appears to be working fine. I tried to Telnet into Paul's mail server and was successful which suggests that port 25 is not being blocked. I then ran Blat from the command line successfully so my next step is to incorporate Blat into the app and try again.

RE: SMTP error
Thanks to all that responded. Ted - I'll try BLAT. I selected Essmtp because it seemed straightforward and worked really well on my machine. I know the username and password are correct - I set them up! Thinking about that though - I don't set a password or username anywhere, either on their machine or mine. I'm using code cribbed from Alan Bourke which was in turn cribbed from Craig Boyd's blog. Alan's code refers to a domain setting in the comments but it is not set anywhere in live code. Craig's code doesn't mention it at all and neither have any form of username or password. I modified Alan's code to put my own values in it and it ran straight off. The from address was my domain which uses a forwarding service, it is not my actual email address. All very odd.
