I spent two days chasing on and off the problem. I thought it was related to Windows or Outlook upgrades. Boy was I pissed when I found the real problem. Ronald J.

Network tech maintained it had been that way since 1/1/07. Clearly, false information. No notice, no suggested workaround... not even a good description on the comcast.net website of suggested (required?) SMTP server setting modifications. Our sterling broadband ISP options.. AT&T and Comcast... sad, really. ________________________ Kevin C. Gormican 650.917.9521 831.917.9521 kevin () gormican com
