Setting up SMTP authentication for Outlook and Outlook Express is simple - simply go into the account setup screen (getting to the account setup screen is different in Outlook and Outlook Express, but once there, the dialogs are the same), go to the Servers tab, and check the box that says: Outgoing Mail Server [] My server requires authentication Checking that box will cause Outlook / Outlook Express to authenticate to your mail server (using whatever methods it knows about - at least one of which is supported by XMail because my out-of-house users do this) when attempting to send email. It is not necessary to configure a specific authentication protocol in Outlook or Outlook Express (in fact, I would be very surprised if it were possible to choose an authentication protocol in these products). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
