I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here. I used smtpmail to connect to this very same ISP only weeks ago and it worked fine.. I would find it hard to believe their auth method changed, but if it did, how would I set up Gnus to pop from the server before sending mail through it? I do not have another client that can send mail through this.. is there a specific client I should try? >> What does "220-NO UCE" mean?

I didn't post the password.. if you saw something and thought it was my password then I misused the parameters because that was my username :) -- Jordan Katz | Mind the gap
