My description of the problem was not very clear, sorry
about that.

I have a peer to peer network of 10 computers all running
xp, with NO connection to the internet. As I teach IT I
want my students to be able to send and receive email
messages from each other. Or rather I want to set up a
simulation so that I can teach them how to do this.

I have found a simple, free piece of 3rd party pop 3
server software called AGSMAIL. I have installed this
succesfully on one of the computers and created a couple
of users. When I set up an email account in Outlook on
one of the other computers I cannot put in a proper email
address because I do not have a domain. i.e
test1@somedomain.com. If, however I pit the user email
address as being test1 ( one of the test usernames) then
when I test the settings they all work fine, but when I
go to outlook to send a message,using the email address
test1, it fails because it does not recognise the email
as a proper address.

I was wondering if there was a setting in OUTLOOK which I
could change so it will accept it.

Hope thats made things a little clearer.
