I just tried a couple of experiments. The first, I sent an email to myself on my main account, using an account I haven't used in months. That one went through, via my main ISP's SMTP server. I was not asked for a password. I then created a bogus account, using the name "test" on the same ISP as the first test. When I tried to send the main ISP's SMTP server rejected it, saying the account couldn't be verified. So it would appear this method would at least require a valid account somewhere. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
