Using telnet on a foreign machine, I connected to port 25 on the xmail box. Identifying myself as [EMAIL PROTECTED], I was successfully able to send email to myself ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and an off-domain account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I used the following command format: HELO <ID> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RCPT TO:<ADDRESS> DATA Subject:Test Test .. Here is the debug output for each message: SMTP client connection from [63.227.41.121] Invalid headers section : 1072917736230.426011.www.digiboi.org SMAIL local SMTP = "smtp.agbs.us" From = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SMTP client exit [63.227.41.121] SMTP client connection from [63.227.41.121] Invalid headers section : 1072917791110.442395.www.digiboi.org SMAIL SMTP-Send MX = "gateway-r.comcast.net."

There shouldn't be a major difference between the way Thunderbird makes an SMTP request and the way I did it through telnet, should there? Maybe I should try a different client? ~ Corey - 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]
