Hello Gary, Yes, I think I've finally realized that. I'm not sure it's the port 25 thing or not since I can configure the software to use another port. But AOL say's it will not relay messages or allow use of any other software to send messages through it. I wouldn't use AOL, but the company I'm consulting with uses it for remote connections. I have two questions then:
1: The Bat! therefore seems to be incorrectly using TSL protocol when trying to send mail through my ATT account. Since the same settings allow Outlook Express to do it. I can receive mail fine with The Bat! too. So - not waiting for a fix for this. Does anyone know of a free web-based e-mail service that will work - one that uses a simple protocol to send e-mail through. Netzero will not work either - I can't even get Outlook express to work with it. Thanks. 2. Does anybody have alternative ideas for another ISP that would provide connections throughout the US for travelling people that is not bound up like AOL is, and allows users to use their own e-mail clients (for me, The Bat!) while traveling. I'm thinking about People PC (I'm thinking of setting up a spare computer with this for my parents anyway), maybe. I'm not sure about MSN (too big brother).
