He sent a second e-mail to his original post talking about the authentication. In his original e-mail, the log showed an attempt to authenticate using CRAM/MD5 failing and then a plain text authentication which was successful (I think - I've deleted that post). I answered only one of the e-mails but included both issues. Sorry for causing any confusion. Or maybe I'm confused about the whole thing. Wouldn't be the first time! :) -- Regards, Terry Using The Bat! v2.01.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
