Yes, the outgoing message does leave Outlook. The smtp log says: "" "azlin.com" "192.168.2.14" 2004-01-25 21:15:49" "armadam700" "yahoo.com" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "S41" "RECV-OK" "" "2092"
Does that help? Yikes, now that I'm looking at the log, there's a lot more activity there than there should be, and from addresses that have no business being there - I thought I'd turned all SMTP relaying off!!
