Yes, that seems reasonable. Why are you trying to send > mail directly rather than through the Earthlink SMTP servers? I generally do not. As you can see, all of the mails I have sent in this thread have been successfully routed through Earthlink's servers. I do find the block annoying when I try to help people debug email problems since, $ telnet smtp.somedomain.org 25 Will obviously fail. But the whole reason I brought up this goes back to Terry mentioning his ISP recently was aquired and he now has a "mindspring" address. Since that time he has experienced email issues. "mindspring" is part of Earthlink too. I thought I'd mention that Earthlink messes with port 25 which may or may not have some relation to his troubles. Probably not, but I thought I'd whine about it. Didn't think the thread would live on this long. -- Crist J.
