Hello Allie, MAU, Mary, Terry, Peter and Stefan: Thank you for your kind assistance.
(You may remember that I could not achieve the necessary SMTP authentication while _sending mail_ from The Bat through ChoiceMail.) It looks like I MAY have solved the problem now, in 2 steps. First, I set both Send and Receive Mail to the new (DSL) ISP: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com. (Both hard worked fine before, set to Choicemail's proxy server, 127.0.01.) Sending mail now finally would work. Second, I switched Receive Mail BACK to 127.0.01 (Choicemail) Now, I apparently still have spam protection thanks to Choicemail AND also outgoing SMTP authentication. With many thanks, David Austen ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
