Change your outgoing port. Instead of "8025" try just "25". The specifics of how depends upon your e-mail client which you haven't told us. But basically find the account settings and it's probably under "More Settings" and/or "Advanced".-B- http://www.officeforlawyers.com Author: The Lawyer's Guide to Microsoft Outlook
