More likely it's because the "Use name and password" box is checked on the "Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings" page of "Account Settings." It's not your fault, Mozilla does that by default. It can be useful though, if you use a laptop then authenticating should allow you to send mail when you're not on their network. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
