I haven't read your original thread, so I don't know if someone has suggested this already. I get this problem when I try to send mail to, say, a@b.com from my@isp.com account when I'm actually not connected through isp.com, but rather through a 3rd party isp. This is called relaying, which spammers look for because it enables anyone to send spam, and hence any good isp should block it. What you can try is: 1. Make sure you're actually on your isp.com network - get the ip address of their mail server, and get your ip address and see. 2. Enable passwords with your mail client - not just to check mail, but to send mail as well.

HTH, and as I said, I hope this wasn't already mentioned in the original thread... -- Iain Buchanan Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. -- Aesop -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
