Re: Problems Sending Email,,, Corrupt Windows Component?

Well, a call to my web site's tech support confirmed that my account does
require authentication to the SMTP and that I've got everything properly
configured, however, I can not send email with authentication either on or
off. I'm certain my ISP is not blocking port 25 because I've had several
conversations with their tech support.

Interestingly, I was able to configure a buddy's laptop to send email using
Outlook Express and my ISP. This tells me something is incorrect on my
specific computer.

Any other ideas?

Thanks a bunch,

Brian
