Port 587 is submission, and it uses either no encryption, or STARTTLS (SSL/TLS might work, but usually doesn't). Port 465 is smtps, and it always uses SSL or TLS. Note that some Microsoft's programs incorrectly call STARTTLS just TLS. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > Thanks Peter, thanks Jernej, Unfortunately the plot thickens - none of the combinations of port settings, TLS/STARTTLS/REGULAR dropdowns with or without 'Must use Secure Communications' set behind this works with this provider in The Bat! For me. I tried in Outlook and it works using the settings attached (also uploaded to http://www.tonybro.com/Outlook.JPG as attachment was stripped last time). I am at a loss on this one. The closest I get is an error from The Bat! Saying 'Message not sent. Server reply - must be authenticated' Thanks, Tony
