Hello Allie, I downloaded the Mercury software, but came up upon conputerese problems. I don't know what a nameserver is. I was actually able to start the command prompt window in Win2000 and find nameserver listed by running IPConfig /all. So it is working on my broadband account. I really don't know what the internet name for this system is either - and there is really no good explanations for these terms in help.
Anyway it's working on my computer at home, but I don't know why I would use it here. I can't however get it to work with the AOL account. I keep getting the reply 'will not relay non-local mail'. I thought the mercury bypassed this and sent mail directly. I'm not sure what to enter in nameservers here or anything else for that matter. I did a Whois for aol.com and got some IP addresses but it didn't say nameservers. No matter what I get the same response - no relay of non-local mail. Any suggestions? Thanks.
