Hi Fred
Thanks for the feedback. My problem is with sending.
I don't know anything about the server configuration. I was hoping it
might be a Mail.app setting that I was missing or something else on the
client side.
Anyway, the sysadmin is looking into it. Thanks again for getting back
to me.. at least I know it *can* work :-)
Regards
Jonathan
